Ready Readers is a literacy enrichment program for children in grades K-3, designed to expose children to culturally relevant literature, build vocabulary, support critical thinking, and foster a love of reading!


Rising Readers is a literacy enrichment program for 4th-5th graders that combines high-interest, culturally-responsive books with student-driven literature circles to support reading engagement, comprehension, and grade-level discussion skills.

 

Lit C.R.E.W. (Literature Connect, Read to Research, Explore, and Wrap Up), is an initiative designed to enhance literacy engagement and skill development of 6th-8th graders and meet the diverse needs of both educators and students. 





Lit C.R.E.W.: Engaging Literacy Through Project-Based Learning

Lit C.R.E.W. (Connect. Read to Research. Explore. Wrap-Up.) is a dynamic program for educators eager to transform literacy instruction through the Science of Reading and project-based learning. This 2-hour course empowers educators with strategies to foster critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration in their students. Participants will explore evidence-based practices in literacy, including building background knowledge, vocabulary, and verbal reasoning, while learning to engage students in meaningful, real-world projects. The course breaks down the Lit C.R.E.W. framework into actionable steps: connecting students to content, guiding research-based reading, encouraging exploration through projects, and wrapping up with public speaking, constructive feedback, and reflection. Perfect for afterschool programs, expanded learning, or classrooms, Lit C.R.E.W. emphasizes student voice, choice, and engagement to create transformative literacy experiences.
