What We Do
The Literacy Tutoring Collaboration is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded to help close the literacy gap by providing targeted, consistent, and intensive literacy interventions at zero cost to schools.
Provide Highly Trained Teachers
The LTC only provides teachers that are highly trained in the science of reading and structured literacy interventions.
Consistent, Frequent, & Intensive Interventions
LTC is able to provide literacy interventions with the consistency, frequency, and intensity needed to help students succeed.
Collaborate With Teachers
We work closely with teachers and school literacy leaders to maximize student success through meaningful relationships.
Data-Based Decision Making
We rely on student specific data from diagnostic assessments and progress monitoring tools to keep kids moving in the right direction.
Our Mission
The Literacy Tutoring Collaboration works to close the literacy gap to enable all students to read at or above grade level by partnering with schools to provide intensive literacy interventions during the school day.
Why We Do It
The literacy gap is the disparity, or gap, between what a student should be able to do and what they are actually doing at a certain grade level. This gap presents a challenge for all children acquiring the literacy skills needed to succeed academically and in life, but it has the greatest impact on black, hispanic, economically disadvantaged, special education, or English language learners.
Historically high literacy gap
The literacy gap is at a historically high level post-Covid, especially for students that have not benefitted from small group interventions and instruction.
Virginia Literacy Act (VLA) 2022
Per the VLA, any child not reading on grade-level needs an additional 2.5 hours of reading instruction per week in a 5:1 student-teacher setting.
Zero Cost to Schools
Schools are financially unable to afford the additional literacy support needed to meet the intervention needs of students, per the VLA.
Empowering Every Child
All students, regardless of race or socioeconomic status, should have the opportunity to become skilled and independent readers.
