| What is RALLY Jacksonville! ?
RALLY Jacksonville!, otherwise known as the Mayor's Literacy Initiative, is Mayor John Peyton's plan to get every child ready to read. This plan makes early literacy a core value in Jacksonville, improves the quality of its child care sites, and increases the number of children who are ready for school at the beginning of kindergarten. |
|
How Does It Work?
- Mayor Peyton's Book Club: Calling all pre-kindergarteners! You are invited to receive a bag filled with fun reading resources and a series of Jacksonville-themed children's books!
- RALLY Champions!: Corporate and civic organizations are partnering with child care sites in neighborhoods all over Jacksonville! Volunteers are reading to children, hosting teacher appreciation events, providing books and beautifying playgrounds! Click here to learn more!
- Early Learning Teams: Teams of literacy experts travel to child care centers helping directors and staff improve their curriculum and methods, focusing on each center's unique opportunities.
- Quality Rating and Improvement System: The Early Learning Coalition of Duval implements the Guiding Stars rating system for child care centers making it easier for parents to identify and compare school-readiness sites. Click here to learn more!
