Why Apply?

We know that up to +50% of U.S. students struggle with the foundational skills they need to become fluent readers. Despite your best efforts, are your students struggling with the transition to fluency?

We believe that educators need easy-to-implement literacy interventions to help struggling readers, especially those in middle school and above.

That’s where WordFlight can help. WordFlight is a personalized reading intervention program for grades 3+ that goes beyond the Science of Reading, using the Science of Learning to bridge the gap between phonics and fluency.

Learn more about how WordFlight builds fluency.

We invite educators in grades 3+ who are passionate about helping their students achieve fluency.

• Teachers: You may apply for your class with admin approval.
• Administrators: You may apply for your school building.
• Find a friend! Schools and districts with more than one application will be given highest priority.
• You must be in a US-based school that is not currently using WordFlight and has not yet received a WordFlight grant.
