About
ACADEMIC SUPPORTS SERVE CHILDREN OF ALL AGES SO THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL PREPARED FOR POST-SECONDARY SUCCESS. ACADEMIC SUPPORTS AND LITERACY SUPPORTS IN PARTICULAR ARE AN URGENT NEED FOR THE CHILDREN WE SERVE. READING ON GRADE LEVEL BY THIRD GRADE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PREDICTORS OF LONG TERM SUCCESS, BUT MEETING THIS BENCHMARK IS A CHALLENGE FOR WELLINGTON PARK CHILDREN. BY THE TIME THEY ENTER KINDERGARTEN, OUR PARTICIPANTS HAVE HEARD, ON AVERAGE, 30 MILLION FEWER WORDS THAN THEIR MORE AFFLUENT PEERS, PUTTING THEM AT A SIGNIFICANT DISADVANTAGE. THIS GAP ONLY WIDENS AS CHILDREN GROW OLDER: IN FACT, MANY OF OUR PARTICIPANTS COME TO US THREE OR MORE YEARS BEHIND IN READING. ALIGNED TO THE COMMON CORE, OUR PROGRAMMING INCLUDES ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING AND HOMEWORK HELP FOR CHILDREN IN GRADES K-12 TO STRENGTHEN THEIR LITERACY SKILLS; OLDER YOUTH PROGRAMMING FOR CHILDREN IN GRADES 7-12 SUCH AS CAREER EXPLORATION AND SAT/ACT PREPARATION - TO PREPARE THEM FOR POST-SECONDARY OPTIONS; AND EDUCATIONAL ADVOCACY SERVICES TO CONNECT FAMILIES WITH HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOLS AND SUPPORT CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. ALL OF THESE SUPPORTS RESULT IN TREMENDOUS OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN: IN FACT, CHILDREN IN HORTONS KIDS ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
