We are a small charity with a big impact, working to close the literacy gap for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
As specialists in literacy tuition, our Literacy and Reading Labs in primary schools are nurturing and inclusive environments where children can have the opportunity to close their literacy gap and become confident and resilient learners.
Working in primary schools in areas of deprivation, our expert tutors seek to unlock the potential of children who can be up to two years behind where they should be, not just with reading but with all the important literacy skills: writing, comprehension, listening and speaking.
After one month of our specialist tuition, children can catch up by four and a half months. Two thirds of the children we support close their literacy gap completely.
By giving disadvantaged children the chance to catch up with their peers our life changing literacy tuition broadens horizons, creating the opportunity to engage fully with education and ultimately to step ahead.
