The Literacy Project Foundation

The Literacy Projects (TLP) mission is to eliminate the literacy gap of emerging second graders who are functionally illiterate. Our vision is to remove the impediment of illiteracy from the lives of our most vulnerable children with the help of teachers, volunteers, mentors and role models. It is our hope that every second grade student is given the chance to have a solid foundation of English skills to advance their literacy development. This critical age, referred to as the literacy gap, is when a child becomes equipped with literacy skills that last a lifetime. To accomplish its mission, TLP accesses and enhances key phonic skills among struggling readers in second grade; promotes learning in a fun, social and interactive environment; uses proven methods to maximize the learning experience; and fosters self-sufficiency and economic success through academic and attitudinal achievement. TLP offers a comprehensive instructional program that improves both academic and attitudinal level
