When reading is a struggle, much of a child’s world can feel out of reach. Help put patient, individual reading support within reach—one child, one clear plan, one next step.
Florida’s 2026 third-grade reading results showed a 19-point gap at Level 3 or above: 51% for economically disadvantaged students and 70% for their peers.
These assessments use different standards. “Below Basic” and “below grade level” are not interchangeable, and a test result does not define a child’s ability to grow. The local 49% is calculated from 51% reaching Level 3 or above.
Practical help. Personal attention.
Help that meets a child where they are.
Leaping with Lisa offers personalized, one-on-one online reading tutoring. Its published approach focuses on phonics, fluency and comprehension through short, frequent sessions.
For a family facing a financial barrier, scholarship support can help make that kind of individual attention possible.
Kindness becomes tangible when someone makes room for a child to learn.

A scholarship with a purpose
Help pay for the support. Keep the child at the center.
Faith Through Literacy is about helping a child access reading instruction when a family needs financial help. The next step is a clear sponsorship conversation with Lisa.
Understand the need.
Ask how a child’s reading needs are assessed and how families are matched with available scholarship support.
Fund a defined plan.
Confirm the instruction, length of support, cost and correct giving route before a gift is made.
Follow the progress.
Discuss what updates can be shared, how progress is measured and how the child’s privacy will be protected.
Scholarship availability, amounts and payment arrangements must be confirmed with Lisa. A consultation is an invitation to learn the details; it is not a donation transaction.
There is more than one way to help
Bring what you can. Help build the bridge.
An individual or family
Help sponsor a child’s plan.
Ask about the current cost of a defined reading plan and whether a full or partial scholarship is available to support.
That is the purpose of this invitation: helping a child access individual reading support. Ask Lisa how current scholarship support is assigned to a child’s plan or shared across eligible students.
How much does a scholarship cost?
The amount should match the child’s needs and the agreed plan. Lisa can explain current options, what they include and whether full, partial or shared support is available.
Where should I send a gift?
Use the “Ask A Question” form on Lisa’s Parents page and request the correct scholarship giving instructions. Confirm the receiving organization, purpose and payment details before sending funds.
Is the tutoring online?
Yes. Leaping with Lisa describes its reading tutoring as personalized, one-on-one online instruction. Confirm the child’s schedule and support needs with Lisa.
What if I cannot help financially right now?
You can share the story, make an introduction to a church or business, connect a family with Lisa’s information, or pray for the children and people doing the work.
Faith. Hope. Love. In action.
You may be the bridge between a child and the help they need.
Start a conversation with Lisa about helping sponsor a child’s reading support. A clear plan makes generosity personal.
