Moving Literacy Forward, Together
Across research, philanthropy, and community partnership, AIM’s work is driven by a shared commitment: bringing the science of reading to life in classrooms and transforming outcomes for all learners.
By collaborating with AIM, partners help build sustainable, evidence-aligned solutions that prepare educators, support families, and change trajectories for students nationwide.
At AIM, we know meaningful change in literacy happens when innovative funders, education leaders, and expert practitioners work together toward a shared goal: ensuring every child becomes a skilled, confident reader. Philanthropic partners play a critical role in expanding what is possible—helping AIM bring evidence-based literacy training to more educators, strengthen systems, and build models that can scale across schools, districts, and states.

The AIM Institute for Learning & Research is proud to announce the selection of 10 schools for our new AIM Early Reading Success Schools initiative. This fully-funded, yearlong demonstration project is designed to transform early literacy instruction and ensure that more than 1,000 children in more than 60 classrooms across the country are reading at grade level by the end of the school year.
Supported with a $750,000 donation by the Raphael Family Foundation, the initiative provides AIM-led professional learning, coaching, and implementation support per school to help participating teams accelerate reading outcomes and build sustainable systems for early literacy success. The participating schools represent a diverse cross-section of the country, including rural communities and major cities, and span public, private, and charter school settings.
