Our Impact

In the 2022-23 School Year,

We partnered with 21 schools across the San Francisco Bay Area and Hawaiʻi and helped 2,500 students and family members develop at-home reading routines! Our program isn’t just about reading more books, it’s about increasing family knowledge of the importance of reading with their child, and how that can impact their educational journey ahead.

How We Collect Data

Always Dream relies upon several different data sets in order to determine effectiveness of the program. We collect engagement data from the digital library platform that informs how often students are reading, how many minutes, and the number of books being read. We track the engagement of Book Coaches and their communication with families. We collect feedback from teachers and administrators through mid-year and year-end focus groups. Finally, we conduct thorough year-end family surveys. All of this data is used to determine if we meet program objectives for the year and to inform adjustments that should be made to our program delivery.
