Join Our Mission
Often our children lead precarious lives in dangerous neighborhoods. The one source of stability is a local church. Ideally, we network with a local church and a funding foundation to bring our program to their community. As the program demonstrates effectiveness more nonprofits will join.
Literacy is the gateway to building skills in core academic subjects. Gained early it breaks the cycles of poverty and abuse and replaces them with cycles of hope, empowerment, and success. Our long-term goal is to bring all children to the grade level by third grade. This will be done one community at a time with leaders from that community who claim ownership.
Our Mission And Vision
The Rocket Phonics Foundation’s mission is to save lives one reader at a time.
Our organization focuses on closing the reading achievement gap through the use of the Rocket Phonics reading program.
Our Approach
WE FACILITATE SAFE LEARNING EXPERIENCES
We start with a person who cares enough about the children in their community to act. Next, we identify a facility to bring the kids to. This facility can be a preschool, a church, or a combination of both. Then we train the volunteers to play the games the children need.
Why Churches?
They all qualify as non-profit organizations
They usually aren’t using their facility after school and during the weekday
They are already part of the community
Why Non-Profit Organizations?
Grade-level reading has gathered the support of many nonprofit organizations across this country. If you have a community that needs this support then chances are good we can find a local non-profit to fund the effort.
