From Vision to Reality: Literacy for Every Child
The Footsteps2Brilliance Model Innovation City™ program unites schools, families, and communities to tackle literacy challenges. Through an in-kind grant, we provide bilingual resources and a customized learning plan to ensure access for every child. Together, we’ll build a sustainable program that drives achievement, enrollment, and community growth.
Dr. Diego Ochoa, Superintendent San Mateo City School District describes how his ability to pull detailed Footsteps2Brilliance reports has been invaluable, showing usage, stamina, and comprehension at a glance. Paired with their new Science of Reading instructional model, this program has supported dramatic growth—from 48% to 86% of kindergartners reading at grade level in just two years.
The San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, in partnership with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, is bringing the Love for Literacy project to justice-involved families.
Through fun, engaging sessions with literacy coaches, children and their families build connections while boosting literacy skills through music, digital books, and games—fostering a love for reading that transcends generations.
“Footsteps2Brilliance is the vehicle that allows parents to become more directly involved in their children’s’ educational journey. That kind of innovative learning is really what our educational foundation should be all about.
