Bill > HR386

This resolution commends the Black Child Development Institute (BCDI) for receiving the Georgia Reads Community Award, which recognizes organizations that have formed sustained partnerships to improve literacy. The resolution highlights BCDI's efforts to promote early literacy and language development for families with children from birth to age eight through its Read to Succeed program, which helps establish home libraries with culturally responsive and developmentally appropriate children's books. The organization has partnered with notable entities like the United Way of Greater Atlanta and the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning to collaborate on literacy initiatives. The Georgia Council on Literacy, which established the award, emphasizes the critical role communities play in addressing low literacy rates. The resolution specifically praises BCDI for creating measurable improvements in reading proficiency and demonstrating how community-driven solutions can effectively tackle literacy challenges. Ultimately, the resolution formally congratulates BCDI and directs the House of Representatives' Clerk to provide an official copy of the resolution to the organization.
