What We Do

The Augustine Literacy Project (ALP) is dedicated to improving the reading skills of K-2 students in high-need schools. ALP trains and supports volunteers to implement planned lessons that are designed using proven instructional methods. Volunteer tutors meet with one CMS student two times a week for 45 minutes - either in-person or remotely. Join us to make a lasting impact in a child's education. Your time, their future. Become an ALP Tutor!

Interesting Info
  • Children do not outgrow poor reading. 74% of poor readers in 3rd grade are still poor readers in 9th grade.
  • Third graders who lack proficiency in reading are 4 times more likely to become high school dropouts.
  • For 90% of poor readers, early intensive intervention, like the 1:1 instruction provided by an ALP tutor, can increase reading ability to an avg skill level.
