We had a wonderful visit with Senator Richard Blumenthal and Mayor Justin Elicker to discuss our congressional earmark. This award is for one year and will be used to build our internal organizational capacity to incorporate more Structured Literacy throughout the organization. Structured Literacy practices follow the Science of Reading creating an even more structured, explicit, and differentiated model focusing on the foundational aspects of learning to read. This investment in training and added implementation will enable New Haven Reads to expand our programs to meet the current and future literacy needs of our student population.
