Our Programs

Reading Intervention  

The heart and soul of Literacy Now has been and will continue to be our Reading Intervention program that will serve a projected 880 struggling readers in K- 3rd grade throughout 13 Houston elementary schools this year.  This one-of-a-kind program provides 25 weeks of individualized small-group (4:1 ratio) reading instruction with the goal of creating proficient readers that are reading on grade level.  Highly trained, paid interventionists provide hands-on instruction that meet the students’ individual learning needs through mastery of foundational reading skills and relationship building. The program utilizes research-based foundational skills curricula that are customizable to meet the needs of each student and have been proven to help both new and struggling readers build skills and confidence for fluent, independent reading.
