OUR PURPOSE
Get Troup Reading is an initiative to promote collaboration of ALL community stakeholders to improve childhood literacy in Troup County. Our goal is to have 100% of Troup County third graders reading on grade level. To reach this goal we will use a four-pillar framework to support literacy education through language nutrition, access, positive learning climate, teacher preparation and effectiveness. This endeavor will involve working with all businesses, organizations, the school system, and all members of the community to help the children of Troup County.

RESULTS DRIVEN STRATEGIES.
In order to determine that our efforts are making a difference for our children, all strategies will have trackable metrics. As we find that our tactics are working we will increase our support in those areas. The strategies that show minimal growth will be reevaluated and replaced.
