Closing The Literacy Gap—With Data To Prove It

Only one-third of U.S. students read at grade level—but for students in under-resourced schools, this number is even lower.

Our impact is powered by:

  • Science of Reading-based tutoring tailored to each learner.
  • Exceptional tutors (only 1 in 10 applicants hired) who build confidence and skills.
  • Innovative models like our Magpie Blended Program, where 76% of students hit growth targets.

Systemic barriers leave too many children, especially those furthest from opportunity, without the foundational literacy skills they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond. 

It’s this disparity that drives our mission: to close the literacy gap, help all students become strong readers, and open doors to a lifetime of opportunities.

At OnYourMark, we bridge the reading gap with proven, data-driven results:

  • 88% of our students achieve measurable growth, outpacing peers.
  • 175% more students reach grade-level reading after intervention.

We don’t just teach; we dismantle barriers—one skill, one student, one breakthrough at a time.

“This isn’t just tutoring—it’s a lifeline for students who need it most. Being able to read on grade level by third grade has a tremendous impact on students’ life outcomes—it’s directly tied to high school graduation, to college matriculation, and to whether or not students have choice-filled lives.”
