Because of donors like you, we will be launching our fourth year of programming this summer - building home libraries and empowering parents to teach vocabulary every day from birth - regardless of limited time, money and other socioeconomic barriers.
Throughout 2017 and 2018, you have made it possible for the parents of every child we serve to enjoy an entire year of weekly literacy emails and text messages.
All year, Word Rebel parents received three weekly text messages through our partner, Ready4K. This evidence-based program sent quick tips to teach literacy skills in just five minutes a day. It is proven to increase parent reading engagement, childhood vocabulary and early reading skills.
Every week, Word Rebel parents also received two weekly emails containing a downloadable PDF book, read-along video, questions to ask while reading, daily sight words and quick tips to teach vocabulary during daily routines!
Thanks to you, 1,500 at-risk children will start preschool with the vocabulary they need to succeed through high school graduation. From everyone at Word Rebel, thank you for making equal opportunity a reality. We appreciate all you have done to support our cause.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
