We envision a world where all children have equitable access to educational resources regardless of their zip code.

Decode Project is eliminating inequities in education by fostering a diverse group of learners prepared to navigate the world. Our goal is equity in education. Our work is to close the opportunity gap for early readers, those not yet reading at grade-level proficiency, and those who show signs and symptoms of dyslexia.

We do this in three key ways:

We Train Literacy Mentors – We prepare future educators and community leaders with training in evidence-based, multi-sensory Structured Literacy; anti-racist/anti-biased relationship building; resilience-building; and trauma-informed care. We Teach Kids to Read – We partner students not yet reading at grade-level proficiency and/or showing signs of dyslexia, with Literacy Mentors using effective structured literacy methods. We Develop A Network of Advocates – We provide workshops, resources, individualized reports, and advocacy support for caregivers, community agencies, schools, and educators. We work to ensure that all students are provided with access to the necessary resources to become skilled readers.
