Family Involvement and Teacher-Led Learning Build Math and Reading Skills
While our after-school literacy and math program is research-based, we offer more than just a curriculum. The power is in implementation, meeting students and families where they are and building in hands-on experiences that makes learning fun.
Bringing schools, teachers, and families together with a proven method helps everything click into place. Families want to be involved but don’t always know how they can provide support and guidance at home.
Our Family-Eduator Learning Accelerator (FELA) methodology builds those skills and the confidence families need to extend learning at home. That’s why our weekly family workshops see an average 89% rate across the board.
The literacy and math offering expands Springboard’s proven after-school literacy model while maintaining a focus on excellent instruction and family support.

How Does the After-School Literacy and Math Program Work?
Our literacy and math intervention programs follow a clear path for students: build a support team, assess skills and set goals, practice reading and hands-on math, and celebrate success.
Here’s what the course of the program looks like:
1
Students are assessed and placed in small groups.
2
Families attend weekly workshops to learn how to support reading and math practice at home.
3
Blended instruction with a minimum number of hours to meet for both math and reading.
4
Practice, practice, practice! Students practice math and reading with teachers, with parents, and independently.
5
Cheer success along the way and with an end-of-program celebration!
6
Use follow-up impact reports to build action plans to continue progress.
In 7-10 weeks, students see an average of 14 weeks reading growth, closing 54% of the reading gap.
What Our After-School Literacy and Math Program Delivers
Our programs have got you covered on every level. These are not curriculum-only deliverables that put more on everyone’s plate. We partner with schools and districts every step of the way, offering professional development for teachers, and building connections with families.
We Partner with Schools and Districts to Implement Programs
You don’t have to cover everything on your own. Instead, you’ll have a dedicated team to help take care of the details:
- Logistics planning
- Staff recruitment and training
- Enrollment support and promotion
- Post-program impact reporting
We Provide Teachers with Professional Development
Our literacy and math programs are led by teachers, who are given all the support materials and training they need. We make the tools and the plan and the teachers put them to the best use. Our teacher development offerings include:
- Curriculum and methodology training
- Family workshop training
- Literacy and math assessment tool training (DIBELS 8th edition and Acadience Math)
- Web-based app support

We Support Meaningful Family Engagement
Using our FELA methodology, we engage families in a way that speaks to them. The key to our stellar attendance rate for family workshops is rooted in the truth that families want to be involved and have fun with it. Here’s what we provide families:
- Weekly family workshops for literacy and math
- Free books, hands-on math activity kits, and other incentives
- A support team that includes families, teachers, and schools
- Experience the love of reading and building math confidence as a family
Languages Supported by Our Literacy Program
Family engagement builds when all families can get involved. That’s why family workshop materials come are available in four languages including Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, and Vietnamese.
More Reading and Math Growth All Year Long
Want to continue to help students grow in literacy and math over the summer months? We have a program for that. Or, if you want to target one or the other, we have programs that focus on a single topic.
