Nearly 70% of fourth graders throughout Massachusetts are not reading at grade level.
Gaps in early literacy create obstacles in the path of learning that affect children for years to come.
Literations is meeting the critical need for early literacy support in Greater Boston, MetroWest, and now Chelsea, reaching the communities that need help the most.
We hope you’ll join us in empowering young readers by giving the gift of literacy.
