| | Reading Is Fundamental | What We Do | Running Start |
 | | Running Start is a reading motivation program for first graders and their families. |
 | | The Running Start challenge isnât just for the kids: it also challenges teachers, school volunteers, and especially parents to give children a burst of ambition at a crucial stage in their development as readers. |
 | | Running Start provides books for classroom collections, a guide for coordinators, and a handbook for teachers, as well as program materials, including bookmarks, posters, stickers, and recognition items for children, parents, and volunteers who meet the challenge. |
