Research shows that 80% of students who are reading at grade level by the end of first grade remain at grade level by the end of third grade. Literacy tutoring is a critical intervention for students who enter first grade below grade level.
Since 2012, we have closed the classroom connectivity gap for 47 million students, and connected 5 million low-income households to high-speed broadband.
Every student can learn to read with the right instruction. One-to-one, virtual Science of Reading-based tutoring closes students’ decoding gaps, helping them quickly catch up and read at grade level. 15-minute daily sessions with expert reading tutors teach students the foundational skills they need to become confident and fluent readers.
From 2012 to 2020, EducationSuperHighway led the effort that closed the classroom connectivity gap. In 2013, only 10% of students had access to digital learning in their classrooms. Today, thanks to an unprecedented bipartisan effort by federal, state, and school district leaders, supported by K-12 advocacy organizations, the classroom connectivity gap is closed - 47 million students are connected, and 99.3% of America's schools have a high-speed broadband connection. Since 2020, we have also connected 5 million low-income households to affordable high-speed broadband.
Our mission is to close the K-12 literacy gap by ensuring that every student who enters first grade reading below grade level receives the literacy tutoring they need to become a confident, fluent reader.
Support our new mission to raise enough funding to end the literacy crisis by providing tutoring to every first grader who needs it.
