Springboard’s family workshops helped one father turn his daughter’s reading struggles into confidence and progress.

of students increased their reading proficiency

A father shared how defeated he and his daughter once felt about reading, as she described herself as “just dumb or stupid” for struggling. Without the tools to support her, he felt powerless.

After attending Springboard workshops, he developed the confidence and strategies he needed to help her grow. He’s seen a clear change in her self-esteem and proudly shared, “She’s made awesome progress… she isn’t afraid to rise to the occasion when she comes across harder words because she knows she can tackle them,” showing how Springboard empowers families to grow and learn together.
