PreK- Third Grade Literacy
In August 2023, Turn the Page STL began convening St. Louis tutoring organizations that serve low-income families and children to determine how best we can provide high-impact tutoring for all students who need literacy support.
As a chapter of the Campaign for Grade Level Reading, Turn the Page STL is guided by the Campaign's research:
"It's critical that we turn to things that we know work to meet students' urgent needs. High-dosage tutoring has delivered results for students across grade levels, ability levels, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and it should be considered a major asset in equitable learning loss recovery efforts."

During the summer and fall of 2024, the STL Tutoring Collaborative with funding from Opportunity Trust hired Bellwether Consulting to create a landscape analysis of high-impact tutoring for students, K-3, who attend a St. Louis Promise Zone School Districts. In summary, we have 16,000 students who would strongly benefit from high-impact tutoring and only 1600 of those students have access. Our next steps include increasing quality and supply of high-impact tutoring. St. Louis Early Literacy Tutoring Landscape Analysis, October 25, 2024.
Of 47,000 K-3 students in the STL metro area, only 40% are reading on grade-level. We thus estimate that over 16,000 Promise Zone students in grades K- 3 could benefit from early literacy supports such as high-impact tutoring.
