THE LITERACY PROJECT

IN EACH SCHOOL WE PARTNER WITH A GROUP OF SIX STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT TO READ IN 30 LESSONS USING A GAME FORMAT. THE PROGRAM IS ADMIMISTERED BY A MASTER TEACHER WHO FOCUSES ON FIVE ESSENTIAL READING COMPONENTS: PHONEMIC AWARENESS, PHONICS, FLUENCY, VOCABULARY, AND COMPREHENSION. THE GAME FORMAT IS HIGHLY ENGAGING, FUN, AND EFFECTIVE, USING THREE LEARNING MODALITIES - AUDITORY, VISUAL, AND TACTILE. THE CURRICULUM ALIGNS WITH STATE STANDARDS AND BEST PRACTICES IN READING INSTRUCTION TO ACHIEVE STUDENT LITERACY.FOUNDED IN 2009, THE LITERACY PROJECT (TLP) HAS HELPED MORE THAN 10,000 STRUGGLING READERS IMPROVE THEIR PHONETIC SKILLS AND BECOME MORE SELF-CONFIDENT, LEADING TO GRADE-LEVEL READING. THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAM, WE ASSESS STUDENTS TO MONITOR THEIR PROGRESS. IN THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR, 85% OF ALL TLP STUDENTS MET OR EXCEEDED THEIR PRIMARY END-OF-YEAR GROWTH GOAL. DURING THE PAST YEAR, READING PROGRAMS HAVE EXPANDED FROM CALIFORNIA TO UTAH AND ARIZONA.
