Decode Project

The Decode Project works to close the opportunity gap by providing students with learning differences and financial barriers effective, structured literacy instructions. This is accomplished by the training of literacy mentors, teaching kids to read and developing a network of advocates. We prepare future educators and community leaders with training in evidence-based, multi sensory structured literacy, resilience building, healing-centered care and anti-racist/anti-biased relationship-building. As we teach kids to read, we have identified that many children enter school with weak literacy skills and that children with early literacy interventions are four times more likely to graduate from high school. Our literacy interventions are multi-sensory, evidence-based, scientifically proven and tailored to each student. We develop a network of advocates by providing workshops, resources, individualized reports and advocacy support for caregivers, youth-serving organizations, schools and educators who become resources for our students. .
