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 supports the Campaign for Grade Level Reading’s research that  “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 socio-economic backgrounds, and it should be considered a major asset in equitable learning loss recovery efforts.”

 

STL Tutoring Collaborative members include: Black Men Read, Campus Y (YMCA) at Washington University, E. Des Lee Tutorial Initiative & UMSL’s Literacy Clinics, Firm Foundation Tutoring (New City Fellowship), Gateway Region YMCA, Hope Education, Lolly’s Place, Mission St. Louis – Beyond School, OASIS Institute, Restored For More, Smart Kids, Inc., St. Louis County Library, St. Louis Public Library, Teach For America St. Louis, The Crossing, The Gathering, The Village, Turn the Page STL, and Webster Student Literacy Corps..

​

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.
