Despite continuous efforts to provide reading and educational resources to our nation’s youth, illiteracy still remains a serious problem with nearly 33 perecent of our fourth grade children reading below grade level here in the United States as shown by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. By providing “free” reading resources like Kidsville News!, the foundation strives to improve this statistic, and in turn, help prepare our children
for future success.

approves grants to qualified projects and institutions that endeavor to instill strong reading and education skills and solid character-development traits in America’s youth.
