Future Forward is proud to announce we have been awarded the prestigious Tutoring Design Program Badge from Stanford University’s National Student Support Accelerator (NSSA). To receive a Badge, our program was evaluated by a third-party team of education leaders to assess its alignment to rigorous Tutoring Quality Standards. The design of Future Forward's tutoring and family engagement program was shown to excel in Instruction, Learning Integration, and Cohesion.

Future Forward's tutors are the glue that holds our program together. Meet one of our Wisconsin Rapids tutors, Kaydence! 🚀✨

"Hello! My name is Kaydence McGregor. I started tutoring at Howe Elementary for Future Forward this past fall. I am still very new to the position, but I love being a part of this incredible program. I come from a large family of 7: with 1 older brother, 2 younger brothers, and 3 younger sisters. I have experience in lifeguarding and I am also currently working at Dog Star Resort (now called R & L Prairie Oasis, LLC) where I work with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I enjoy playing hockey in my free time and also love painting and crocheting.

I graduated last spring in 2024. I am still unsure of what the future holds, but tutoring has taught me that I love working with kids and inspiring them to push through challenges. It is incredibly rewarding to see the excitement on their faces when those tough ideas finally click. I still do not know what career path I want to pursue, but I know that I would like to continue encouraging young minds to learn and grow."

At our Montgomery County Schools North Carolina, we marched into reading like it was our favorite cardio. 📚💪

Our March family events were full of books, games, snacks, and smiles. Huge thanks to the families who showed up, showed out, and reminded us that reading is better when it’s shared.

Same time this month? 😉

Libraries: where stories live, curiosity thrives, and everyone’s welcome. 📖 This , we’re grateful for the school libraries that help our students explore the world as they continue on their reading journeys.

Pictured is Future Forward's classroom at Candor Elementary School, inside their school library! What a perfect place for our students to learn to read.

Meet Weston (left) and Gabby (right), two Future Forward students from Cherokee County School District who bring joy to every session! Weston, a student at Draytonville Elementary, loves coming to Future Forward. At Luther Vaughan Elementary, Gabby’s favorite part is picking out a book for her tutor, Mr. Robert, to read.

Students like Weston and Gabby come to Future Forward excited to learn—and the strong relationships they build with their tutors make that experience even more meaningful. 🚀

Creating a nation of readers through in-school tutoring and family engagement

Future Forward is a Research-Based Early Reading Intervention that works. Future Forward integrates One-On-One Tutoring and Family Engagement.

Future Forward serves K-3 struggling readers. Reaching children through a multi-tiered model that affects multiple aspects of their daily experience, the Future Forward program is more effective than any one approach or intervention on its own. Each Future Forward site is supervised by a certified teacher or youth serving professional and has dedicated space to support literacy instruction and house Future Forward curriculum and materials. The Future Forward program is freestanding, using dedicated staff and resources, yet has the full collaboration of school administrators and classroom teachers. Future Forward's ultimate goal is for all students to read at grade level by the end of third grade.
