Through powerful collaborations, the Lowcountry Literacy Project is driving a transformative initiative to bring the Science of Reading (using Orton-Gillingham) to public schools in Charleston, SC. This isn’t just another project; it’s a movement to ensure that every student, no matter their background, has access to life-changing literacy instruction. The success of this pilot will set the stage for widespread reform in schools and districts beyond Charleston.

When you join us, you’re not just donating—you’re:

Empowering Individuals: Literacy opens doors to education, better job opportunities, and financial stability. It equips people with the skills they need to navigate the world, understand their rights, and advocate for themselves.
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty: Higher literacy rates lead to better employment prospects and higher incomes, which can lift families out of poverty and provide more opportunities for the next generation.
Boosting Educational Success: Children who develop strong literacy skills early on are more likely to succeed in school, graduate, and pursue higher education. This success has a ripple effect, leading to improved life outcomes and greater community engagement.
Strengthening Communities: A literate population is essential for building informed and active communities. It enhances civic participation, reduces crime rates, and fosters a culture of lifelong learning.
Improving Health and Well-being: Literacy is closely linked to better health outcomes. People with higher literacy skills are more likely to understand health information, make informed decisions, and access healthcare services when needed.

Join us—your impact will be felt for generations.
