By equipping children with the skills they need to succeed, we're meeting an immediate need and we're sowing seeds that will bear fruit in their lives and in the broader community for years to come.
At We Strive for Literacy, we believe every child deserves the chance to succeed, and literacy is the foundation of all learning. Founded on the principles of structured literacy and backed by the latest research in the science of reading, our organization is dedicated to advancing literacy education from the ground up.
Our Mission
Our mission is to equip educators with highly explicit, systematic instruction for foundational skills such as decoding, spelling, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing. By focusing on prevention for younger students and intervention for older ones, along with equipping future educators through university collaborations, we tackle literacy challenges at every educational level.
We Strive for Literacy offers a comprehensive suite of services to address literacy challenges at every educational level. We focus on the five pillars of literacy education: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, ensuring a comprehensive approach to developing literacy skills. Our services range from in-depth training and ongoing professional development for educators, schools, and educational institutions, to direct support for homeschool learning pods, students, and parents in underserved communities.
We provide no-cost Community Reading and Writing Workshops in accessible locations for children and their families to learn how to read and write.
We equip educators with effective prevention strategies for early grades and targeted intervention techniques for older students.
We help support schools and districts to improve literacy outcomes through expert consultations, targeted professional development, and ongoing support.
We collaborate to embed structured literacy training into future educator training. We help drive impactful literacy outcomes from the classroom to the community.
We work alongside educational organizations and nonprofits to create collaborative solutions that improve literacy programs—uniting for literacy excellence.
Our collaboration with EBLI brings together evidence-based literacy instruction and professional development to improve literacy outcomes for students and educators.
