The Campaign for Grade-Level Reading Here’s a list of cities, counties, and towns that have submitted community solutions actions plans to join the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading Network, in most cases, as part of an application for the 2012 All-America City Grade-Level Reading Award. The Campaign will provide technical assistance as these communities implement their plans. If you’re looking for the lead contact in a community, click here.
If you’re working in a participating community and would like to join our private online NING site with resources and more information about the Campaign, email pjordan@gradelevelreading.net with your name and the name of your community. If you’ve already signed up, log in at http://aacreading.ning.com/
