Carolina Panthers 3rd and Goal Literacy Program

3rd_Goal_16x9

The Carolina Panthers "3rd & Goal Read Along" video series is a free resource for classroom teachers and parents. The program is designed to encourage a love of reading for students in K-3 with the goal of helping students develop grade level reading proficiency skills by the end of 3rd grade. The series features Panthers players and special guests reading popular Scholastic book titles in a fun "read along" style for students to follow.

The Carolina Panthers are grateful to program partners Scholastic, North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, South Carolina Board of Education and the Children's Theatre of Charlotte for their valued assistance.
