Every child deserves the power of literacy.

At Mrs Wordsmith, we believe literacy is power. Every child deserves the ability to decode words, understand them, and fall in love with reading.

We know educators are working tirelessly — but often without enough resources. Our tools are designed to complement the curriculum you already teach, making evidence-based literacy practice joyful, accessible, and sustainable.

By applying for the Wordsmith Scholars Grant, you’re joining a community of educators committed to closing literacy gaps, supporting vulnerable students, and sparking a lifelong love of reading.
