About the Moonshot Moment:
In 2012, then SDIRC Superintendent Dr. Fran Adams, in collaboration with The Learning Alliance, launched the “Moonshot Moment: 90% Literacy by Third Grade” working with the Campaign for Grade Level Reading (CGLR,) a nationwide movement of local leaders, states, nonprofits, and foundations putting a stake in the ground on third-grade reading. The communities are adopting a collective impact strategy, engaging the full community around the goal of supporting low-income children from birth through third grade. Acknowledging that schools alone cannot address all the challenges that keep children from learning to read, our Moonshot Community Action Network (MCAN) is comprised of over 70 community leaders working together to ensure that children arrive at kindergarten ready to succeed, attend school regularly, and keep learning through the summer months.
