The California Reading Initiative (CRI) is a program designed to improve literacy among students across California. It provides educators with research-based strategies, resources, and professional development to help students develop strong reading skills. The initiative focuses on early identification of reading challenges, effective instructional practices, and fostering a love of reading. By supporting teachers and aligning curriculum standards, CRI aims to ensure that all students, regardless of background, achieve literacy proficiency critical for academic success and lifelong learning.
