SoundTown’s mission is to solve literacy for all young children
Poor literacy is a health and equity issue that begins early and, unfortunately, lasts a lifetime. We can solve this by combining the research-based Science of Reading, the structured sequence for explicit instruction, a simple approach to practice, and a dose of fun.
We sweat the small stuff.
When you’re teaching kids to read, every detail matters.
We find a way.
Third-grade reading proficiency has not budged for decades. We bring together deep research with day-to-day practicalities.
We thrive on feedback.
Feedback is our lifeblood. It’s how we can build Sound Town to fit just right.
Diverse perspectives matter.
Helping students learn how to read requires understanding different perspectives.
“Any discussion about 'equity' in education that is not first and foremost a discussion about literacy is unserious.” - Robert Pondiscio, 2021
Our team is dedicated to building confident and joyful readers through strong foundational skills. We bring together a range of skills developed over multiple decades.
