KSK Investors early childhood literacy program
We believe that reading proficiency is foundational to one's success in school, work and society.
Therefore, KSK Investors supports early childhood literacy programs in our footprint via annual formulaic charitable contributions. Kelly King leads the effort to solicit input as to which early literacy programs are funded each year.
“Educators pay particular attention to 9-year-olds’ literacy rates because research shows that reading ability by the end of third grade can be predictive of educational success, career earnings, and the risk of incarceration.”
