We are excited to see our Reading Interventionist implement the Page's Promise curriculum this year and positively influence our students!

Created by our Instructional Coaches in collaboration with our Programs Team, Page’s Promise is an early reading intervention curriculum rooted in the Science of Teaching Reading. Through targeted, research-based instruction, we help young readers build the foundational skills they need to grow and succeed.

A huge shoutout to our dedicated team and everyone who helped us gear up for another impactful year in literacy!
