Grant Program Stretches Districts' Reading First Funds

LeapFrog SchoolHouse has launched a new program to assist districts seeking federal Reading First grants by increasing the impact of those funds with an award of additional curriculum materials and multisensory learning tools. The new "Reading First Grant Plus 10 Program" awards 10% in additional LeapFrog SchoolHouse products to districts that apply for Reading First grant proceeds. To qualify for the program, eligible Reading First applications must include at least one LeapFrog SchoolHouse supplemental reading program in the grant submission. The 10% match will be applied to the total amount of LeapFrog SchoolHouse products referenced in the grant. For more information and to obtain an application, visit www.LeapFrog SchoolHouse.com/Funding/plus_10.asp.
