Mission: Mission:

OpenLiteracy’s mission is to provide individualized 1:1 literacy instruction, aligned with students' literacy learning needs, to ensure that all students are reading at grade level.

Program Description: Program Description:

OpenLiteracy partners with school districts, non-profit organizations, and families across the United States to provide 1:1 tutoring for students in grades K-6. OpenLiteracy Tutoring can be implemented during the school day, for instance, during an intervention block or independent reading time, as well as before or after school. Students receive one-on-one instruction from a certified teacher for 30 minutes, three times per week, via OpenLiteracy's virtual classroom. Our COPPA compliant virtual classroom, similar to Zoom, makes it easy to conduct tutoring sessions whenever and wherever needed. OpenLiteracy cares deeply about working in partnership and we regularly communicate baseline and ongoing progress monitoring data as well as attendance.

In addition to providing 1:1 tutoring, OpenLiteracy’s curriculum is available for purchase to use in small group or 1:1 instruction. All lessons are turnkey and ready to use with no additional planning or prep required.
