Welcome
You’re invited to join the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (CGLR) for GLR Week 2025, a week-long (July 28–August 1) series of virtual events spotlighting how states and communities are advancing early school success and accelerating equitable learning recovery. This year’s lineup will feature webinars, peer exchanges, and national plenaries hosted by CGLR, as well as a variety of in-person and online sessions organized by CGLR’s network of state and community lead organizations and stakeholder coalitions.
Last year’s theme, “Focus on the Gaps,” continues into 2025 — a call to action to confront the persistent learning, achievement, digital access, and opportunity gaps that have left far too many children stranded. Each session will probe these disparities and spotlight the innovative strategies and scalable solutions needed to close them.
We hope you’ll make plans to join us for GLR Week 2025 as we engage in solutions-focused conversations about early learning, chronic absenteeism, and the recent surge in parents “curating” their children’s K–12 education experience. Together, let’s keep “focusing on the gaps” with greater intentionality and resolve.
