Help fund Mighty Doodle™ for 3 Twin Cities schools,
serving approximately 360 K-3rd grade emerging readers.
Twin Cities’ children from culturally and ethnically diverse homes have one of the worst literacy gaps in the country,
This year, more than ever, it is essential to reach children who have had a gap in learning. Due to COVID 19, Twin Cities school closures have wreaked havoc on the development of literacy skills for underserved K-3rd graders. Students who were at risk of not mastering grade level literacy skills prior to school closings are at a crossroads that will directly impact the future of their lives. Community support is critical to ensure K-3rd grade students attain grade level reading, writing and spelling skills.
Between 3rd and 4th grade, a child transitions from learning to read, to reading to learn. Without the strong foundation of basic literacy skills, a child falls further and further behind.
The Literacy Matters Foundation's Mighty Doodle™ learning tool uses leading-edge technology to provide engaging, child-friendly literacy instruction in a gamified lesson format delivered on an iPad.
Our goal is to leverage the best technology and proven curriculum to empower young learners (K-4) with the basic reading, writing and spelling skills needed to close the literacy gap. The phonics-based and evidence-based Orton-Gillingham curriculum is presented in a sequence of mini games designed to engage emerging readers in a multi-sensory, structured, sequential, and cumulative learning experience.
The majority of students who used Mighty Doodle™ made significant gains during the school year, with many demonstrating up to 4X greater progress on national standardized tests.
Please consider a donation today, because nothing matters more.
