Literacy Initiative

The reading levels of students who received small group instruction moved ahead of their peers by 50%. These results demonstrate a step in the right direction!

The Need

Ravenswood students face greater challenges than students in surrounding communities that make it hard for them to perform at their best in school.

The Impact

In partnership with the Ravenswood City School District, REF is investing in reading intervention teachers and literacy coaches across all district schools.

The Opportunity

Join us on this important mission to ensure that our students are prepared for high school and beyond with a strong foundation in literacy.

“I enjoy being a literacy coach because I get to support teachers in understanding themselves better, which ultimately helps them support their students.”
