Research shows that children who participate in high-quality early childhood programs are more likely to enter kindergarten ready to learn.
The Orchard Foundation developed and coordinates its early literacy program, Read to Soar, to help prepare young children for school success by cultivating a love for reading long before they set foot in a classroom. The goal of the Read to Soar program is to help develop and strengthen a culture of reading at home through parent engagement so that children will have the tools for school success once they enter kindergarten.
