5 Minutes with Literacy Academy Collective

We spoke with Ruth Genn, one of the Founders of Literacy Academy Collective. Literacy Academy Collective designs and supports NYC Public Schools to bring evidence-based literacy instruction into the classroom. They partner with schools, families, community-based organizations, and institutes of higher education to bring culturally relevant, structured literacy to the most marginalized students at the intersection of race, income, and disability. They aim to to alter life outcomes by allowing children to access learning through literacy.

Learn more about their belief that learning to read is a civil right and the work they're doing to tackle NYC's literacy issues.
