Did you know that nearly 50 percent of San Diego County’s 3rd graders are not meeting state literacy standards? Children who don’t read proficiently by the end of third grade are four times more likely to leave school without a diploma compared to proficient readers.

Experience Corps is a proven reading program made up of tutors who work with struggling readers in Kindergarten through 3rd grade to help them with their literacy skills.
