The early literacy crisis in Sacramento threatens to drastically impact this generation of children, their future and the future of our city. Sacramento’s literacy crisis requires bold action and massive public awareness. The Walk 4 Literacy was produced by collaborating organizations that believe the literacy crisis in Sacramento will be solved through synergies gained by working together toward grade-level reading.
