IMPACT STATEMENT
The education system in the United States continues to be deeply impacted by a long history
of unjust policies that socio-economically disinvest in communities of color. The Literacy
Lab?s mission is to address inequities by providing students of color with individualized
reading instruction to improve their literacy skills. We believe that when young people of all
races and from different economic brackets have equitable access to robust educational and
professional development opportunities, they will be more successful as adults and their
communities will be more resilient and prosperous. Since 2009, The Literacy Lab has
provided evidence-based literacy interventions to more than 30,000 children from
marginalized communities to master early literacy skills. By embedding rigorously trained
tutors in pre-K classrooms and elementary schools to tutor students of color from pre-K
through third grade, The Literacy Lab strives to create a full six-year continuum of support
for young readers.
