Strengthening K-3 Reading in Puerto Rico

In Puerto Rico, students have experienced more than half a decade of interrupted school due to multiple natural disasters and a global pandemic, widening the existing literacy achievement gap. Students have not had the opportunity to master basic skills such as critical reading, which we know to be an essential building block for success in school and in life. The island’s economic and social progress depends on our children becoming active and knowledgeable citizens committed to themselves and to the island’s well-being and growth.

Flamboyan is working to ensure that all students in Puerto Rico are reading at grade level by the end of third grade. We develop and advance efforts that have an impact on educators and the school community, the central system, and the island’s broader educational ecosystem. By joining together with government, business, and community partners to build student literacy, we will create a Puerto Rico in which all children can envision limitless futures and make those dreams come true.
