That’s when students are supposed to go from learning to read to reading to learn. It’s America’s number one education crisis and we know how to fix it.\nIgnite Reading delivers one-to-one virtual tutoring that teaches every student the foundational skills they need to become a confident, fluent reader. We pair students who need extra support with expert reading tutors who provide daily, 15-minute, Science of Reading-based instruction that rapidly closes their decoding gaps. We focus on the foundational reading skills-phonics, phonemic awareness, and sight words-kids need to master so they can decode a sentence. Students in Ignite Reading’s program achieve over 2 weeks of reading skills growth per week of instruction, and notably all students achieve the same outstanding results including students with IEPs, multilingual learners, students of color and those receiving free or reduced-price lunch.\nIgnite Reading is a mission-driven public benefit corporation.
