This comprehensive program is designed to support grade school through high school students, helping them improve their reading and math skills through our tutoring program, while also gaining valuable life skills.
Program Overview: Mildrie’s Road House of Literacy is committed to meeting each student exactly where they are in their academic journey. We understand that every child struggles in their own unique way, and our tailored curriculum is designed to address individual needs. By utilizing i-Ready and STAR 360 test scores, our skilled tutors can create personalized learning plans to lift the grades of each child in reading and math.
Key Components Free Enrollment: Parents can sign their children up for this program free of charge. Our goal is to make quality education accessible to all students in the community. Personalized Learning: By analyzing i-Ready and STAR 360 test scores, our tutors develop customized lesson plans that cater to each child’s specific challenges in reading and math. Life Skills and Cooking: Beyond academics, our program includes life skills training. Children will learn how to cook delicious vegan dishes, promoting healthy eating habits.
Gardening: We are excited to offer gardening classes where children will learn to grow their own vegetables and fruits. This hands-on experience not only teaches sustainability but also allows students to bring fresh produce home to their families.
MRF Bucks Store: As part of our incentive system, students can earn MRF Bucks for attending sessions, paying attention, and doing their best. These can be redeemed weekly at our store, which offers brand new clothing, school supplies, and more—free of charge.

Reading is the most fundamental skill children must learn to succeed in school and in life. But today, 58% of California’s third-graders are below grade level in reading. What’s worse, among low-income students of color, over 75% read below grade level (let that sink in – 75%).
