Participating in Fight for Literacy Games 21-22
Become a #Champion and #Fight4Literacy!
Sometimes we can all use an assist, whether it’s on the court or in real life. Join the Cleveland State Vikings, Coaching for Literacy, and International Paper to provide an assist to kids learning to read. Together, we are combatting the statistic that just 1 in 3 American fourth graders are reading on grade level. That year is so important because children LEARN TO READ until third grade and after that they READ TO LEARN.

Using the power and influence of sports, the organization partners with teams across the country to host Fight for Literacy Games, which raise funds for grants to literacy-focused programs in their communities.
