Read to Lead

Governor Walker's Read to Lead initiative focuses on improving the literacy of students currently in elementary school and promoting the foundation of literacy for all Wisconsinites.

Literacy and numeracy are critical components of a strong workforce. At the Department of Workforce Development, we believe that these skills lay the foundation for successful employment and prosperity for Wisconsin residents. We invite you to access the below resources or visit a local Job Center to learn about literacy programs in your area.
