OUR WORK

Closing the
K-12 Literacy Gap

EducationSuperHighway is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides literacy tutoring scholarships to first graders who are reading below grade level. Our goal is to help each student become a fluent reader by the end of first grade. This work is made possible thanks to the generosity of our donors and by partnerships with schools and proven literacy tutoring providers.

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, it has also connected 5 million low-income households to affordable high-speed broadband.
