Lighting the fire for our youngest readers
Empowered families. Thriving students. A stronger city.
Reading proficiency by third-grade is the most important predictor of high school graduation and career success. But fewer than 15% of students in St. Louis hit this critical milestone.
Lit Kids Club is working to change that reality. We are supporting families to ensure their young readers have the skills and habits that will ensure success for the longterm.
Join the club.
This year, we are welcoming 50 families across our pilot schools to join the club. These families commit to trying out new practices and routines at home that can accelerate reading growth. In support of that work, they receive…
TARGETED SUPPORT FROM A TEACHER
With support from your child’s educator, you’ll gain a specific understanding of where your child’s reading level is and which actions at home will be most helpful.
WORKSHOPS + RESOURCES
You’ll have access to workshops where you can learn easy-to-implement routines that make a big difference. You’ll also gain access to a bank of resources your child can use throughout the year.
INCENTIVES + CELEBRATIONS
Every 3 months, families can submit their child’s updated reading action plan and a record of the learning opportunities they engaged in to redeem awards (gift cards for families + fun experiences for students).
