In 2023, a Community Vitality Grant of $65,000 was awarded to Strong Start to Reading to update the materials in their Letters, Sounds and Words program to be more inclusive from an equity, diversity and inclusion perspective. The program acts as a literacy intervention for young children to develop foundational reading skills.
