About Pocket Literacy Coach

The Pocket Literacy Coach program is a text messaging service designed for parents of Pre-K - 2nd grade students. The Pocket Literacy Coach sends a daily text message to your cell phone with a short literacy lesson that you can use with your child to help them build their emerging literacy skills.

The objective of the PLC program is to provide parents with creative and fun research-based lessons to use with their kids. The most basic benefits of the PLC mini-lessons are that the text messages serve as both a daily reminder and they provide an easy learning activity for parents to use. PLC mini-lessons will extend your personal knowledge and give you confidence that you are constantly providing a stimulating environment for your youngsters!
