ABOUT US
Literacy to Success was founded as a result of 5 for 5, Inc., a nonprofit started in 2014, to increase graduation rates in low-income areas. Through 5 for 5, Literacy to Success was birth as a tool to increase the graduation rate amongst children in need. Our studies found there is a significant relationship between 3rd graders reading on grade-level and high school graduates being ready for college or a career. Our nonprofit exists to help children succeed, despite their socioeconomic status through Attendance Initiatives, Parent Engagement, and Literacy Camps.
