Why enriched? 

The teaching of reading should be about decoding and comprehending, yet students are not able to do the latter.  Children need explicit phonics-based instruction, and then they need to be taught how to interpret what they have read through discussion, analysis and writing.  This is not happening.  Prior to the pandemic, American students were stagnant or falling behind in their reading skills. Widespread academic disruptions during the pandemic have created a critical mass of struggling readers in the nation's schools.

Established in August 2020 by NYC veteran educators & early childhood experts Brooke Ooten & Mary Cantwell, Enriched is a literacy education program for children in nursery through twelfth grade.  Via in-person and virtual tutoring with trained specialists and educators, Enriched provides students with reading and writing skills.  Enriched uses multi-sensory, skills-based instruction to help young children develop as readers, writers, and thinkers.
