TOGETHER WE ARE EMPOWERING CHANGE 

Our mission is to ensure every child has access to evidence-based literacy instruction for academic success and lifelong learning.

 

Many schools still use outdated teaching methods and curricula that harm struggling students.

We created our advocacy toolkit to empower concerned citizens and raise awareness around this crucial issue. This is a solvable problem, and we have the solution!
 

Through screenings of our movie, Hopeville: How to Win the Reading Wars, we’re raising awareness and driving change in communities nationwide.

 

Join us on this mission by visiting our screenings page to learn how you can host a screening or donate to support our cause.
 

Together, we can transform literacy rates across America and end the reading crisis for all.
