Reading Reimagined

PROGRAMS

We aim to unlock the greater reader in every child. Specifically, our program will focus on increasing reading fluency and comprehension for all students, particularly Black, Latino, and Native American students and those experiencing poverty.

Ending Illiteracy And Unlocking The Great Reader In Every Learner

At Reading Reimagined, we envision a national PreK-12 education system in which all students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and beliefs necessary to be proficient readers, thus enabling them to advocate for themselves, their families, and their communities and lead lives of limitless opportunity. Is it possible to end illiteracy as a country? We believe we can do it by unlocking the great reader in every child.

How can we solve the literacy crisis?

Today, our system does not ensure all students will learn to read.
Two thirds of children do not read at grade level, and this is not a new phenomenon. We research and create solutions to transform our system so that we are teaching the right stuff at the right time and in the right way. Our research is uncovering what we should be focusing on to create solutions and unearthing a hidden hurdle for many students is a key part of our work.
