Parents Trained

Science Of Reading

Participants are taught the basics of the “science of reading” principles, which are based on an interdisciplinary body of science-based research about reading and writing, to complement their children’s schoolwork. Through the program, parents also build self-confidence and improve their own literacy skills. 

Program Details

Who is it for: Parents and caregivers who want to help their children develop a love for literacy and bond with their kids.  


Workshop Details: The Freedom Readers workshop is tailored to helping parents understand and engage with their children's literacy needs effectively. The program focuses on interpreting students' NWEA ELA/reading results and utilizing these insights to guide the reading sessions.

Impact Of Our Program

Parents who attended a Freedom Readers workshop saw results. More than 90% of parents reported engaging in meaningful conversations about word meanings with their children. Their children demonstrated an improvement in literacy skills.
