The Mission

Changing our community one word at a time through connecting 2nd graders with literacy coaches

Change a life now!

The Problem

Many children face significant challenges in later life due to the lack of an effective literacy learning support system.  2 out of 3 children who cannot read by 4th grade could end up either on welfare or in prison.  In Jackson, TN, only 22% of 3rd-5th graders are reading on grade level.*

Amazing results

If  a  child  is  read  to  from  ages  0  to  5,  they  will  have  been  exposed  to  one  million  words.    

If  not,  they  will  enter  school  from  a word-less  desert.
