Our Mission
Empowering Through Literacy
Building Strong Foundations
Liberating Stories
Did you know that a mother’s reading skill is the greatest predictor of her children’s future academic success, outweighing other factors, such as socioeconomic status and the child's neighborhood/school district (NICHD, 2010)?
​
Infants begin distinguishing the sounds associated with their native language by 6 months of age, and by age 2, many children can recognize and comprehend close to 300 spoken words (Law et al., 2017).
​
The foundational skills for literacy begin at home.
​
Literacy involves a combination of skills including accuracy and automaticity with word recognition as well as verbal reasoning skills, vocabulary knowledge, knowledge of language structures, and background knowledge.
​
Our objective is to support other families in the local area as we provide small group classes, mommy and me workshops, and individualized tutoring focused on fostering a love for literacy and language.​​
