Grow as you Go LLC
Established June 12 2023, Grow As You Go was created to address a persistent gap in early literacy instruction: the disconnect between evidence-based reading practices and the realities families and schools face outside structured instructional time. Our work supports literacy development not only in classrooms, but across the environments where children spend the majority of their time. We arededicated to strengthening early reading outcomes by equipping families and educators with research-based, developmentally appropriate literacy tools that integrate into everyday life.
