Tutoring Organization

Reading Corps

Reading Corps combines the people power of AmeriCorps and the science of how children learn to read. Trained AmeriCorps members are placed in early learning centers and elementary schools statewide to serve as literacy tutors for children from age 3 to grade 3. Tutors work with children one-on-one and in small groups daily, providing literacy interventions that are tailored to each learner’s needs.

Open Literacy

OpenLiteracy Reading is anchored in the Science of Reading and its high impact tutoring follows a sequence of lessons that begins with letter sounds, beginning blending, and phonological awareness and moving through advanced phonics. Students who complete levels 9 in the OpenLiteracy Reading sequence successfully will read at an end of second grade level.

Literacy First

Literacy First partners with Title 1 schools in Central Texas to ensure that all children are reading at or above grade level by 3rd grade. Literacy First tutors kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students through daily, one-on-one, 30 minute sessions designed to strengthen early reading, fluency, and comprehension skills.

Saga Education

Saga Education is an evidence-based, personalized tutoring model designed to support students struggling with math to put them on a path toward success and high school graduation. Saga partners with public school districts to supplement teacher instruction by offering trained tutors for students who are falling behind.

Rally Reader

Rally Reader is an AI-powered e-reading platform for K-12 schools that distributes, supports, and tracks independent reading data along with one-to-one tutoring. We have an array of oral and silent reading features embedded into 120,000+ popular ebooks.

WEBINAR: Equity and Achievement Implications of On-Demand Tutoring

Join this webinar to better understand what drives effective tutoring and the recent research about On-Demand Tutoring from Carly Robinson, Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Annenberg Institute at Brown University. 

Dr. Robinson will be joined by LaMarlon J. Wilson, Executive Director of Instruction, Professional Development & Technology of the Mississippi Achievement School District, and Susanne Cramer, Executive Director of School Improvement of Omaha Public Schools to share the practical implications for successful implementation of tutoring in their districts.

The Inequity of Opt-in Educational Resources and an Intervention to increase Equitable Access

Billions of dollars are invested in opt-in educational resources to support struggling students. Yet there is no guarantee these students will use these resources. We report results from a school system’s implementation of on-demand tutoring. The take-up was low. At baseline, only 19% of students ever accessed the platform, and low-performing students were even less likely to log in. We conducted a randomized controlled trial (N = 4,763) testing behaviorally informed messages directed at students and/or their parents to increase participation.
