Caring for our community one word at a time

Connecting volunteers with 2nd graders to increase their literacy skills to change their lives.

CHANGE A LIFE NOW!

We have a problem

Many children in poverty are doomed for failure because they lack an effective support system to teach them how to read.  2 out 3 children who cannot read by 4th grade will either end up on welfare or in prison.  In Jackson TN, only 22% of 3rd-5th graders are reading on grade level.* 


*https://www.tn.gov/education/assessment/tnready.html

Here's how we work to help solve the problem

We connect adult volunteers from our community who meet weekly with students one-on-one at their schools during school hours to work on sight word fluency and comprehension.

Success is happening

Last year's results

Last year's results

Last year's results

At the end of the 2017-18 school year,
the students who were coached once a week showed an average of  251% increase in sight word recognition.
The students who were coached twice a week,
​showed 262% increase in sight word recognition.

Why it works

Last year's results

Last year's results

Both reading fluency and comprehension increase when students readily recognize frequently used words on sight.
​By targeting one area of growth (sight word recognition), 

students will show improvement in all three areas!
