Working to end the literacy crisis in Trenton

Over 75% of Trenton public school children read below grade level.

A dire economic future faces the vast majority of Trenton’s children. While the causes are many and complex, there is a life-altering remedy, and that is what The Trenton Literacy Movement, Inc., (TTLM)  is all about. Reading is a foundational skill for learning after 3rd grade and a predictor for future success. TTLM is a non-profit organization dedicated to enabling Trenton school children to read at grade level by 3rd grade.
