64-circle

64% of South Carolina fourth graders are BELOW proficient in reading and systemic challenges.

We work with elementary teachers in Charleston, SC, to gain the tools, knowledge and skills they need to teach reading effectively. By doing this, we ensure that children learn to read during their foundational early school years—without requiring external tutoring—in order to create a future where no child in South Carolina leaves elementary school without being able to read proficiently.
