Family involvement is key to early literacy intervention
Our reading intervention programs focus on pre-K/TK-through-fifth grade literacy to set students up for learning success as early as possible. That way, they see success right at the start of their academic journey and learn another important truth: Reading is fun.
Family and teacher connection is the method that ties everything together. We know that parents want to be involved in their children’s learning, but they don’t always know how. And reading intervention programs that focus only on school are missing this crucial piece of the puzzle.
When families get involved, success happens. And our Family-Eduator Learning Accelerator (FELA) methodology has built a program that sees results. In fact, our weekly Family Workshops see an average 89% attendance for our after-school literacy program.
Families show up not only because our methodology empowers them to extend learning beyond the classroom but because they get to enjoy the process. It’s as simple as that.
