Family Partners
We partner with families in Harlem District 3, 4 and 5, to provide reading intervention and prevention services through our various reading programs.
School Partners
We partner with schools throughout New York City to offer high impact Family and In-Class Student Workshops around literacy to help strengthen school communities.
Community Partners
We partner with various community organizations to function as strategic assets to help further serve school communities with their internal goals.
What makes our work unique?
Early Literacy Focus
We use the Science of Reading to guide our programs, focusing on evidence-based strategies that build strong foundational skills for learners as young as Pre-K.
Parent Engagement
Our programs involve parents and caregivers, equipping them with practical tools to create literacy-rich environments at home.
Community Partnerships
We collaborate with schools, pre-K centers, libraries, and community organizations to create a network of literacy support across Harlem.
Personalized Coaching
Each child receives one-to-one literacy coaching tailored to their unique needs, blending foundational skills with social-emotional encouragement.
