Overview
The Vision2Read initiative is
a countywide effort to
promote literacy through a
partnership between SBCSS
and San Bernardino County.
Vision2Read Initiative
• Reading at grade level by third grade is one of the greatest predictors
of children’s success in school, their likelihood of going to college, and
their future earning potential.
• Vision2Read invites all of San Bernardino County to join this effort and
help “raise the bar” for literacy in our community and advance our
efforts to achieve the Countywide Vision.
Since 2017, SBCSS has offered
monetary support to schools who are
interested in hosting a literacy-related assembly at their
school site.
