Moving to a city in upstate NY she was appalled to learn that less than half of all children were reading on grade level and that graduates had an average of a 6th grade reading level. Along with her partner, she developed a research-based Birth-to-Eight literacy framework for reading by 3rd grade. The firm had contracts with the United Way of NYC Read NYC strategy, the NYS Cradle to Career Initiative and the Schenectady, NY Public Library literacy initiatives.
