March is #NationalReadingMonth! According to the National Commission on Adult Literacy, the USA is facing a “literacy crisis.” Sadly, once a student falls behind her classmates in reading and writing, it’s difficult to catch up. This problem is often passed down through generations. Children whose parents have low literacy levels or who don’t have access to books face a serious disadvantage in the classroom. To break this cycle, students need access to caring mentors. CricketTogether is a proven eMentoring platform designed to excite kids while improving literacy skills, empower teachers, and enable employee participation.
