The Literacy Lab places rigorously-trained, full-time literacy tutors in public schools to provide children ages three to grade 3 with daily, evidence-based, 1:1 literacy intervention. Throughout the year, tutors participate in training and professional development and receive support from a team of dedicated coaches. Tutors generally serve for one year and receive AmeriCorps benefits as part of their commitment.
The Literacy Lab provides students–in communities experiencing racial and/or economic inequities–with evidence-based, culturally responsive literacy instruction as preparation for academic, professional, and personal success.
The Literacy Lab serves children from age three through grade three. We partner with school districts to help close the literacy gap largely by embedding full-time, rigorously-trained tutors in early childhood centers and elementary schools.
