LongviewREADS!

LongviewREADS! has been developed by a dedicated team at the Chamber of Commerce, with the goal of emphasizing the importance of mastering reading in the 3rd grade. We strongly believe that reading proficiency is a key determinant of future success, both for individuals and for our local businesses. The Chamber’s objective with the LongviewREADS! campaign is to raise awareness among employers about the situation in our elementary schools. We want to inform them about the organizations actively engaged in helping students with reading and encourage their involvement. Once we have strengthened awareness, our focus will shift to engaging employers and their employees through the LongviewREADS! campaign.
