The Literacy Project launched our reading program service to struggling readers in South Summit School District beginning in the 2018-19 school year and expanded in to the Granite School District in the 2021-22 school year. The Utah Chapter’s reading program accesses and enhances key phonic skills among struggling readers in second grade at “no cost” to both the child and the school. The program promotes learning in a fun, social and interactive environment; uses proven methods to maximize the learning experience; ensures literacy for the crucial third-grade literacy milestone; and fosters self-sufficiency and economic success through academic and attitudinal achievement. Founded in 2009, TLP has helped more than 10,000 struggling readers become fundamentally proficient and more self-confident in reading.
