CLI is proud to note that the Philadelphia Early Literacy Campaign continues to grow and impact the schools and children that need us most.

In Philadelphia during the 2013-14 school year, CLI is working with 56 schools and over 400 teachers. These teachers will collectively attend 155 Professional Development Events, including workshops and seminars, and will receive over 6,300 coaching hours from CLI Professional Developer coaches.

CLI will send more than 26,000 books to over 10,000 students in the Philadelphia region.

Through the United Way Donor Choice Campaign, the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program, our website, and many other avenues, our generous supporters have options in contributing to CLI’s mission.
