Executive Summary and Full Reports

Community Listening Sessions with Parents

Achieve Brown County and the Brown County Library are pleased to submit this Community Listening Session report to Brown County K-12 partners as part of a broader community-wide campaign for grade level reading and the Reading Success Summit.

Specifically, this report summarizes key themes from sixteen community listening sessions held at twelve different locations from April to September 2022.

Goal of the Community Listening Sessions

The overall goal of the community listening sessions was to hear from parents their perceptions on reading, early literacy, and reading proficiency. A special focus was given to engaging with traditionally underprivileged communities in Brown County: economically disadvantaged families and bilingual families.
