Help us break the record of most Reading Captains trained by Read by 4th in a single session! Join the Fairhill-Hartranft ABC team as we aim to top the record of 100 people.
Our Reading Captains training will be held on October 1, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., at Mastery Clymer Elementary School. This training is all part of the Fairhill-Hartranft ABCs, an initiative encouraging our community to think about and interact with literacy in new and exciting ways, from street art to storytelling.

Once trained, Reading Captains will receive ongoing support and free resources from Read by 4th for themselves and to distribute in their community.
Please sign up if you’re interested in participating in the training. You can expect plenty of food and fun! We will reach out to confirm your registration for the event. Thank you!
