10 Books A Home Information

10BH serves families in a school community in East Palo Alto, CA, where just 22% of 3rd graders and 28% of 8th graders read at grade level. Most families in this school community have no post high school education and English is a second language. Children entering kindergarten in this community face steep odds against their success. To develop school-readiness skills and an early mindset that will position children and parents for high achievement in kindergarten and grade school, 10BH has developed and deployed its own Child-Parent Home Tutoring Program since March 2012. The program is founded on a learner-guided instructional approach that encourages children to drive their own learning while teaching parents new ways to educate their children.
