The Legacy Initiative of the Phoenix Final Four Local Organizing Committee
Our overarching goal
To inspire third grade students in all Arizona schools to accelerate their reading and increase achievement, using the excitement around the Final Four® to spike their interest. Our goal is 100% participation across the state!
How it works
This literacy challenge is open to all third grade classes across the state. The competition will be at the school level, based upon average time spent reading among third grade students.
The three-month competition, which mimics the March Madness® bracket, allows schools to advance in the competition by number of minutes read. Schools will compete against each other and one school will be crowned champion at Final Four® Friday on March 31, 2017. The warm-up phase of the competition, which allows students full access to the myON platform, begins now and continues until the launch of the contest in January.
In addition, individual students who are top readers as determined by their time spent reading on the myON platform also will be recognized.
