Year 1 Impact Report


ecause of you, Ready, Set, Read! mobilized nearly $1M in its first year to support 1,500 teachers and more than 20,000 SFUSD students. Together, we helped drive a long-awaited breakthrough in literacy proficiency after a decade of stagnant results.
Early elementary students are already showing meaningful gains, with more children in kindergarten and first grade meeting or exceeding grade-level reading standards. This progress is about more than numbers—it’s about making sure every child learns to read and reads to learn by 3rd grade, a milestone that shapes lifelong success. We’re proud to share the Year 1 Impact Report, reflecting your commitment to San Francisco’s public school students and the brighter futures you’re helping create.
Ready, Set, Read! is improving 3rd grade literacy proficiency for SFUSD students by investing in 3 critical areas:
“Quality instruction and quality curriculum are the most high-leverage tools we have in teaching for equity and giving each student what they need in order to succeed, especially for historically underserved populations. That is what I am the most excited about when it comes to this new literacy curriculum.”
