## Resource

A Cincinnati nonprofit is set to scale its groundbreaking literacy program after landing a $15,000 boost from the Scripps Howard Fund. Designed for kids in grades K–3, the initiative uses personalized video lessons, workbooks, and one-on-one coaching to build foundational reading skills — skipping traditional grade levels to meet each child where they are. With a human-centered focus, coaches — including college students and retirees — help kids not just read, but gain confidence, tackling the anxiety that often comes with struggling. The program’s online platform lets parents join in, and with new schools on the horizon and a coach training event coming up, they’re calling on volunteers, partners, and donors to help them reach even more kids before it’s too late.
