Because Literacy Empowers
The Lucy Project is so much more than a reading program. We are creating a scalable, replicable model of support with science-backed methods that turn teachers into literacy experts and students into readers.
For Parents & Caregivers
We get kids reading because we follow the science
Without a knowledgeable guide, finding effective, empathetic support for your child’s reading struggles is overwhelming. If your child has dyslexia, schools in Miami are often ill-equipped to help. We are an organization of people who have been in your shoes. We know early intervention is critical and provide access to evidence-based Structured Literacy remediation – no matter your financial situation, we can help.
For Educators
We teach the tools that unlock literacy
You can change the game for your students and your career. To scale the impact of evidence-based literacy education and intervention, we teach educators about the Science of Reading through comprehensive professional development programs. Whether you’ve been teaching for 20 years, or you’re nurturing your first class, there’s no time like today to level-up your skill set.

A Bit About Us
The Lucy Project turns children into readers and educators into literacy experts every day
We envision a Miami-Dade – and a world – where all students can access the resources they need to build a strong reading foundation, live choice-filled lives and contribute to building a better world.
No teacher should be ill-equipped to teach children to read. No parent should ever struggle to find resources for their child. No struggling reader should ever be expected to simply “figure it out” alone. The Lucy Project was founded by a mom determined to find effective support for her daughter. With well over a decade of experience, we are actively creating replicable, scalable programs that model affordable, accessible literacy education and intervention.
