Reading--A Building Block for Success...The
Buffalo Public Schools
(BPS) made literacy its top priority in 2002. Recognizing that students could not make
significant gains in literacy without the
assistance of parents and the community as a
whole, the BPS turned to Good Schools for All
(Good Schools) to help focus community attention
on literacy. Good Schools, a change agent
organization and neutral convener of community,
initially brought together 14 organizations and
agencies committed to improving literacy in
Buffalo. The Read to Succeed literacy
coalition was born.
Today the Read to Succeed coalition has grown to
include more than forty organizations. Its members
are united around a much larger goal -- to
redesign Buffalo’s fragmented system of literacy
services and replace it with a coordinated,
comprehensive system that will address the
literacy needs of Buffalo’s children and adults. Our goal is 100% literacy. Our
expectation is 100% participation.
