The Partnership for Miami (PFM) today announced a nearly $2 million commitment to expand The Lucy Project’s (TLP) successful early literacy program, The Literacy Hub, across Miami-Dade County. Over the next three years, the initiative will bring The Lucy Project’s evidence-based “Structured Literacy” approach to four schools, supporting 800 students from kindergarten through 2nd grade, strengthening Miami’s education ecosystem.
Research demonstrates that students who finish 3rd grade without reading proficiency rarely catch up. The Lucy Project’s model provides a way to change this trajectory through classroom-tested strategies.
