What We Do

We live in the Information Age, yet thousands of New York State students drop out of school or graduate with low literacy skills every year. We are committed to raising awareness, educating and legislating about the social and economic injustices caused by illiteracy, and how we can address it. 

We represent students at their school districts, advocate and organize evidence-based literacy instruction to ensure they are on a college-ready trajectory. We educate school districts about early screening, and provide professional development on Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) within New York State's school districts. MTSS implementation reduces the number of students needing referrels for special education, and cuts down on school district lawsuits as students will receive remeditaion before they ever fall behind.

​Our campaigns push to prioritize and fund life-changing, evidence-based reading instruction for people who have graduated or previously dropped out of school with weak reading skills.

EDUCATIONAL
​JUSTICE

Our educational justice campaigns aim to address economic and social justice issues by passing literacy legislation to mandate evidence-based remediation, screening, and the implementation of MTSS. This includes remediating the 80% of prisoners who have weak reading skills. Sign up!

 EDUCATIONAL
​WORKSHOPS 

We offer professional development programs, as well as workshops for parents, teachers, and administrators. Our workshops are tailor-made and can cover a range of subjects, for example:
  • Advocacy workshops
  • IEP Goal workshops
  • Progress monitoring 
  • MTSS Professional Development

ADVOCACY & CONSULTATIONS

We represent students at their school districts on a pro bono or sliding scale basis (depending on donations), and free consultations.​ We organize professional development, consult with administrators to implement MTSS to increase reading and writing skills through the school district. MTSS reduces the number of students needing refferrals for special education.
