The GO Project provides year-round educational and family support programs for New York City public school children who are performing below grade level.
During the global pandemic, we provided funding for a strategic partnership between GO and Reading Rescue, to provide weekly, 1:1 literacy instruction for K-2 students. All students’ reading levels grew at a faster rate than what was expected of them during the school year.
Building on the literacy intervention success and in light of the massive learning losses resulting from pandemic-related school closures, we helped GO continue this literacy elevation with a strategic partnership with another program – the SIPPS curriculum. SIPPS is aimed at students in grades 3-5 who are in need of foundational skill building and reading proficiency assistance. One hundred percent of the students receiving the SIPPS instruction demonstrated growth on all domains of the nationally recognized Acadience assessment.
