2021 LITERACY GROWTH PROJECTS

Sparking Early Literacy Growth projects fund West Virginia schools and educational organizations that propose innovative, front-line ways to improve students’ reading proficiency by the third grade. Most projects take place in rural, underserved areas with the highest needs to address the specific causes of low literacy rates among West Virginia’s youngest learners. 

2021 FUNDED PROJECTS

2021 projects are funded by the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation and the Steeley Foundation.

Starred projects have received additional funding to continue their work throughout the 2022-2023 school year.
