A painful end, but it was a heck of a 2023 Detroit @Lions season, one that resulted in a 12-5 regular season, the franchise's first division championship in 30 years and two playoff wins, more than they had the previous 66 years.

Thanks for the ride.

Absolutely, the transformative power of reading aloud to children cannot be overstated! 📚Our experience with Springboard Collaborative corroborates this, as we've witnessed a remarkable 65-minute weekly home reading gain this past year. #FamilyReading #LiteracySuccess

[Springboard Collaborative @springboardNTL]

DYK? Reading aloud to kids is a powerful tool for literacy success. As part of our program, we host workshops to support families become confident at-home reading coaches for their kids. In fact, we've seen families have a 53% increase in minutes reading daily after our workshop.
