Nonprofit鈥檚 2020-21 impact results show that its innovative online program, 成人快播 Connects, positively impacted students last year聽

(St. Paul, MN) September 10, 2021聽

成人快播 is ready to support student learning no matter what this school year brings

With the COVID-19 Delta variant spreading in communities across the country and vaccine timelines for young children still undetermined, no one knows exactly what to expect from the 2021-22 school year. Given the many variables at play, 成人快播 knows that a hybrid approach to tutoring will ensure that students will be able to receive much-needed literacy support regardless of public health circumstances. Where it is feasible to do so safely, 成人快播 will offer its traditional in-person tutoring program with community volunteers working one-on-one with students in a dedicated reading center in local public schools. In cases where in-person tutoring is not possible,聽聽will allow volunteer tutors to work remotely with individual students in real time. 成人快播 Connects offers the same research-based curriculum materials, scripted lessons, and coaching that support volunteers through the traditional tutoring model.

Students need 成人快播 more than ever

The widespread school interruptions of the past few years have exacerbated pre existing opportunity gaps (with pandemic-related learning loss disproportionately impacting Black and Latinx students and students experiencing economic disadvantages). Reading is foundational鈥攖he ability to read transforms lives and empowers children and communities to thrive. When students can read on grade level by fourth grade, they become well-positioned to graduate from high school, access higher-education, and contribute to an increasingly information-based world. 成人快播 is committed to ensuring that all students receive equitable access to the literacy education they deserve and聽聽has proven that 成人快播 helps students significantly increase reading proficiency.

2020-21 results show that 成人快播’ innovation helped positively impact students

Each year, 成人快播 publishes reports highlighting student performance for the national organization and for each of its 12 respective regions across the country. The Impact & Innovation reports for the 2020-21 school year have recently been posted on聽聽and include the following highlights.

• In the Twin Cities:

  • 160 students at 8 partner schools were matched with 253 community volunteers who delivered a total of 4,182 tutoring sessions over the course of the year.

  • 97% of tutoring sessions were delivered online via 成人快播 Connects.

  • Facing historic educational disruptions, 92% of K-2 成人快播 students and 77% of all 成人快播 students met or exceeded their primary literacy growth goal.

  • Despite the heavy shift to an online tutoring platform, and because volunteers received a collective 1,762 hours of training last year (including many new focus areas), 91% of volunteers were satisfied with their experience.

  • This past summer, over 150 packages of books were sent home to students to encourage and support summer reading.

鈥淚 would love to give a huge thanks to everyone who worked with my boys, my Kevin* has so much self-confidence now it is unbelievable. I am so glad that he is not struggling with pressing to read and sound out words. He read my text messages from his dad out loud yesterday just by being in the habit of reading, man I tell you, that makes my heart completely happy. I do my best with my 6 children, but at times they have gone without that extra help. I am so proud of them, especially Kevin because he struggled the most, and just didn’t believe in himself. Thank you, thank you, thank you! My children are examples of 成人快播, being truly needed, and 成人快播 100% working!鈥�
