About Strong Start
Our mission at Strong Start is to provide programs and services through community-wide partnerships that help young children learn to read. Our vision is All children read – a very short statement but a very tall order. Experiences in the family and in early learning environments have a critical influence on a child’s long-term development. Strong Start programs provide an early intervention, reaching children early, before they fall behind, get discouraged and disengage from school. To date, over 60,000 children have been supported by Strong Start early literacy programs.
Strong Start programs are provided free of charge because of the generous support of the community.
Strong Start provides three early literacy programs.
The Letters, Sounds and Words™ program is an early intervention program serving children in Year 2 Kindergarten to Grade 2 who are struggling with their reading. Strong Start trains community volunteers to work one-on-one with children. Volunteer coaches employ expertly designed games and activities to assist struggling readers in developing their foundational early reading skills.
The Get Ready for School™ program helps prepare vulnerable preschoolers for a successful school entry, specifically those who may be disadvantaged for economic reasons or who are learning English as an additional language.
The Baby Connections® program provides resources and strategies to families and caring adults with babies 6 - 12 months. This program provides literacy materials and coaching to support the creation of a literacy-rich home environment for the baby, which help them develop a solid foundation for language and literacy.
Your gift will help children learn to read.
