It's not just a proverb

 It's not just a literacy program. It's a buy-in of the community. They all realize that reading has an impact on what they do in everyday life.

 We have over 11,000 students in our corporation and many of them have needs. We know reading and literacy is so important in whether a child is successful or not. We can do these things with the help of the community. This is a community effort.

 Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right.... Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential.
  Kofi Annan

 We're committed to providing a wide range of supplemental resources to help all literacy educators close the achievement gap before it starts. By transforming a classroom-in-need into a literacy-rich environment, we can have a profound impact not only on the winning teacher's life, but the lives of his or her students.

 Everyone's got an intuition about the risk of everyday life. We thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if we could quantify it?' And once you begin to do that, you realize that everyday life is not benign.

 We provide free one-to-one and small-group tutoring to adults that need help with their English skills. Either basic literacy or English for speakers of other languages. Literacy is more than just reading. It is reading, writing, speaking and listening. Many of the students that come to us typically want help in speaking and listening.

 At H-E-B, we think that literacy provides a platform for people to reflect and build community, not only from reading but from writing. As good corporate citizens, we're concerned about the welfare of our customers.

 We are excited about the opportunities the Toyota Family Literacy Program will bring to Denver. Strengthening the literacy skills of the entire family is bound to produce results among our students. The additional resources provided to make this program available are much appreciated as is the network of educational, nonprofit and corporate organizations that makes this possible.

 We know that children need help to read, and the best time to start them reading is very young. We believe that when children see adults from all walks of life and from throughout the community reading to them, that is another opportunity for children to see the importance of reading.

 When it comes to reading, parents can ensure that their children's literacy rights are honored! Talk to your child's school and find out about the quality reading practices that are going on in the classroom.

 All we are doing is testing the waters right now. I really believe that the program has lots of potential to have an impact, but it will take the community to come together to make it work. We all try to help in our separate ways, different church, business and community organizations, but the program will help us work together.

 Research finds that green space produces consistently positive impact of less aggressive behavior, thus helping reduce violence. A community reading garden helps create positive effects. There should be hundreds of thousands of reading gardens all over the country.

 This is big-time football. I don't the people in this community realize how big this is. They don't realize the level of football we're dealing with. They don't realize the pressure of the decision for these kids. This is about the next four years of their life.

 Financial literacy is not an end in itself, but a step-by-step process. It begins in childhood and continues throughout a person's life all the way to retirement. Instilling the financial-literacy message in children is especially important, because they will carry it for the rest of their lives. The results of the survey are very encouraging, and we want to do our part to make sure all children develop and strengthen their financial-literacy skills.
