1. Since 1972, Mission Learning Center has taught thousands of San Francisco school children how to read.

2. Our reading programs show measurable results: on average children advance well over a grade level in reading skills after one year (7-9 mos).

3. With our approach, our students not only learn to read, but read to learn.
