Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Literacy, Remedial Reading & Encouragement
Mission: Our mission is to save at-risk young readers, six to twelve years of age, from illiteracy through the power of singing.
Target demographics: students reading below their grade level that attend Teir 1 schools and/or a part of low-income households
Direct beneficiaries per year: 867 families
Geographic areas served: Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties
Programs: The Family Literacy Project (FLiP) is an in-home e-learning program, delivered on a high quality tablet, which helps struggling readers reach grade-level proficiency before they fall further, and possibly irretrievable, off track. Sessions are 12-weeks in duration and students commit to 90 minutes a week of program usage. Parents attend weekly check-in meetings with a dedicated FLiP coach that monitors the students' progress, helps set schedules, motivational tips, and the occasionally trouble shooting. Reading skills, such as fluency and comprehension are gradually developed through visual learning, explicit vocabulary instruction, and of course repetition. At the end of the 12 weeks, if the student has logged 900 minutes and achieved 1 level they get to keep the tablet!
