Impact Report
collaborate the results are
extraordinary for kids.
Challenge
- Only 16% of Black and 20% of Hispanic 4th graders are proficient readers.
- Teachers are exhausted from working alone to improve reading outcomes.
- Districts seek to increase instructional time, but often lack capacity to plan and implement supplemental reading programs at scale.
Solution
- Increase instructional time by upskilling families to nurture home reading habits.
- Decrease teacher isolation and burnout by engaging families as partners in teaching and learning.
- Create more equitable outcomes for kids at scale by running Springboard Collaborative’s playbook for reading acceleration.
Springboard Collaborative’s Family-Education Learning Accelerator program closes the reading gap for students in PreK/TK – 3rd grade on average 47%. They can increase their reading growth by 5 months over the course of a 7-10 week program.
During the Academic Year 2023-2024 Springboard Collaborative served 28,042 students across 282 Title I schools.
