Empowering Young Minds: The Strong Start Program and the Right to Read

Literacy is the key to success, empowering the imagination and paving the way for bright futures. Literacy allows us to make sense of what we see, hear, and read—so it is disheartening to know that many children still struggle to learn to read. 

However, there is hope in the form of the Strong Start program. Founded in 2001 by philanthropist Lyle S. Hallman and esteemed educator Lynda Silvester and driven by dedicated volunteers, Strong Start is a community initiative that aims to ensure that all children can learn to read.
