After-school literacy

Effective reading intervention programs can be both evidence-based and fun

Our after-school literacy program shows the power of family engagement. We combine an evidence-based approach with meaningful family involvement to celebrate reading growth and deliver breakthrough results.

Program details

Family involvement is key to early literacy intervention

Our reading intervention programs focus on Pre-K/TK–5th grade literacy to set students up for learning success as early as possible — so they see success right at the start of their academic journey, and learn another important truth: reading is fun.

Family and teacher connection ties everything together. Parents want to be involved in their children's learning, but they don't always know how — and intervention programs that only focus on school are missing this crucial piece.

When families get involved, success happens. Our Family-Educator Learning Accelerator (FELA) methodology has built a program that sees results.
