Literations

In the face of ongoing literacy challenges in the state of Massachusetts, we're proud to share some remarkable achievements from our students in Framingham. Through our high-impact, one-to-one tutoring format, we've seen incredible results: almost all of our students in Framingham showed some growth, with 86% of students demonstrating one or more years of reading growth. These outcomes highlight the powerful impact of targeted, individualized literacy support for our young learners. We're committed to continuing this vital work to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive. #literacymatters #educationsuccess #literations

The Foundation, in partnership with Literations and Jewish Family Service of MetroWest, is actively working on tackling literacy disparities faced by students in underserved communities through our Equity in Education Action Project. Literations pairs highly-trained volunteer literacy coaches (aged 50+) with 1st-4th graders to deliver evidence-based, one-to-one literacy interventions. Over the past three years, this program has been rolled out in 5 schools across Framingham. By investing in these solutions, the Equity in Education Action Project not only increases our education system’s ability to address gaps in student success and promote equity amongst students, but it will also lead to stronger academic performance, higher graduation rates, and more post-education opportunities for young people. This program ultimately fosters a more equitable society for all members of the community. Join us in celebrating our investment in the future at the Community Leadership Reception, October 10 at the Residence Inn, Natick from 4:30-6:30pm. For tickets, visit https://lnkd.in/eN_QF3un

Our Executive Director Wes Enicks offers an important perspective on the literacy crisis in Massachusetts, highlighted in yesterday’s Boston Globe Media article on MCAS scores. With only 42% of students meeting expectations, it's clear that students in this community need our help. Literations plays a vital role by providing one-on-one literacy coaching to students in high-need districts.

This year, 94% of our volunteers indicated that they would like to return in the 2024-2025 school year. Our program staff provide the consistent support to our volunteers that is needed to make them feel both fulfilled and empowered to make a lasting impact on the students they work with. It is because of this support that so many return each year, ready to make an impact. And it's thanks to friends like you that we are able to support our volunteers so fully.

Because of Literations’ intensive investment in our Literacy Coaches and school partnerships, our students end the school year reading 1.5-grade levels higher than where they began. This success is only possible because of the comprehensive support we provide our volunteers, from recruitment and training to ongoing mentorship. And this support is only possible because of you.

Volunteers and their students work together one-on-one twice weekly for 30 minutes, using curriculum-based tools to get to know each other.
