Relying on just the instruction your child is getting at school might be enough to keep your child learning at grade level, experts have said.

But it might not.

So if you don't want your child to be a part of these statistics, it's really up to you as a parent to be the leader of your child's literacy education. Thankfully, there are people out there to help.

At Literacy Night at Citrus Cove Elementary School in Boynton Beach, parents, teachers and kids share their love of reading.

Dr. Natalie Cromwell, the principal at Citrus Cove, is hosting the first in what she hopes will be many of these nights to get parents more engaged in their children's literacy education.

"I felt that this was very important to plan this evening in order to create that school home connection," she said.

CBS12's News Matt Lincoln asked some of the parents and students why they thought so many kids are struggling to read.
