WWKIDS is proud to have partnered with the PAF Reading Intervention Program (Preventative Academic Failure) and The Atlanta Speech School as a pilot for the next 3 years in a trainer train program to equip educators in the science of reading.
September 2023 saw WWKIDS performing over 600 assessments across Jamaica. Our screening initative took us as far a Quickstep Primary School in the cockpit mountains of St. Elizabeth, Jamaica.
Thanks to Dr. Karine Clay of Higher Potential for Learning and dedicated and patient volunteered doctoral students from FSU-Florida Center of Reading Research, for once again assiting with pre-screening and literacy assessements.
