Our Impact
Reading at Grade LevelAttendance
Family Engagement
Employability/Skill BuildingAdult Education
Community Engagement READING AT GRADE LEVEL Reading at grade level is a critical indicator of long-term success. Third grade students who cannot read on grade level are four times more likely to drop out of high school. In NCFL programming:*
Children involved in family learning with a parent/guardian showed a gain of 22.5% in reading scores at or above grade level; children not involved in the programming showed a 2% loss. SOURCE: Evaluation of Southwest Detroit ELL Family Literacy (5-yearsummary)
ATTENDANCE
Attendance is vital when it comes to educational equity and achievement. Chronic school absence leads to an attendance gap that disproportionately holds back students from families with low income. In NCFL programming:*
STUDENTS ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO HAVE A 90% ATTENDANCE RATE IF THEIR PARENTS HAVE COMPLETED 150 HOURS OF FAMILY LEARNING PROGRAMMING. SOURCE: Evaluation of Detroit, MI ELLP (2014-15)FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
Parent engagement in schools results in long-term academic achievement, better social skills, and improved behavior for theirchildren.

NCFL Partners
TOYOTA
Toyota, one of the nation's most successful corporations, began a partnership with NCFL in 1991. In addition to a commitment of more than $50 million, Toyota has also contributed a wealth of in-kind support — including advertising, planning and management expertise — to form one of the most progressive corporate/nonprofit partnerships in the nation. Three major programs have been developed through the Toyota partnership based on the family literacy model of parents and children learning together. These models have influenced federal and state legislation, leveraged local dollars to support family literacy and led to successful programs being replicated across the country.

Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust to promote and implement family literacy programming, first in Kentucky and North Carolina and later nationwide. The Kenan Family Literacy Model in part laid the groundwork for 30 years of subsequent family literacy and family learning programming developed by NCFL. Kenan has continued to support NCFL’s place-based family literacy programs since our inception. Most recently, it has invested in our organization’s Sharon Darling Innovation Fund, which will launch emerging ideas and programmatic evolutions in the multigenerationallearning space.

A signature effort of this partnership is the National Literacy Directory, a resource that launched in 2010 and strives to guide potential students and volunteers to literacy services, community education programs, and testing centers in their communities. The National Literacy Directory contains over 10,000 educational agencies located across the United States and has a dedicated toll-free number to help support those wanting to pursue educational opportunities in their communities.
