Building strong readers, together
We create realistic SCHOOL-FAMILY PARTNERSHIPS that align with the best reading research, make sense for busy parents and teachers, and ignite collaboration.
Ignite collaboration to impact children's reading outcomes for a lifetime.
With the Abound school-family partnership program, you will:
- Set up more productive conferences around reading progress and key benchmarks.
- Empower families by building their capacity to discuss children’s progress and grow reading skills at home.
- Support teachers with supplemental science-based training and tools to engage families around reading development.
A high-quality, low-cost program based on the science of reading
- For $500/yr, all families and staff get access to Abound's Benchmark Check-In and the app's daily content (iOS and android, English & Spanish) .
- For another $1000, schools get a staff workshop and a parent presentation explaining the types of skills a child needs to read successfully & how each adult contributes to a child's skill-building process. (Travel expenses not included for in-person workshops.)
- All educators receive a weekly classroom newsletter insert to support ongoing family efforts and maximize the impact for children (in English & Spanish).
