Mission Statement
Literations drives educational equity through experienced community volunteers empowering young readers for lifelong learning.
About This Cause
Literations empowers volunteers aged 50+ to provide literacy interventions to struggling 1st-4th graders to accelerate their literacy skills and social-emotional learning (SEL). Our students improve their reading by an average of 1.5 grade levels and significantly improve their overall SEL, with strong growth in decision making, personal responsibility, and relationship skills. We target schools facing opportunity gaps to ensure that all students, regardless of zip code, have the literacy skills they need for success. Research indicates that literacy is the pathway to other learning and achievement, yet nearly 70% of students who live in our communities are not reading at grade level when they enter the fourth grade. Literations volunteers undergo extensive training to deliver high-impact support and close the literacy gap. We currently serve students in nine Boston Public Schools, one Boston public charter school, three Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston sites, and three Framingham Public Schools.
