About Girls Inc.

• Assume girls are interested in science, math & technology
• Let girls make big, interesting decisions
• Help girls get past the "yuck" factor - let them get their hands dirty and conduct experiments
• Expect girls to succeed
Literacy
This window of time is especially crucial as research has shown that children who are not at grade level by third grade will continue to struggle in school, are more likely to fall behind, and are less likely to graduate than their peers.
