The Mission of the Augustine Project 
Our mission is to improve the reading, writing and spelling abilities of low-income children and teens who struggle with literacy skills.

The Augustine Project/Winston-Salem trains and supports volunteer tutors who provide free, long term, 1-to-1 instruction using the Orton-Gillingham approach and Wilson Reading System® materials.  Our tutors work with students in the Winston-Salem area.

Augustine lessons use Wilson® materials and include the five essential components of research-based reading instruction as defined by the National Reading Panel: 
     -phonemic awareness
    -phonics
    -vocabulary
    -fluency 
    -comprehension

Who We Serve
We serve low-income children and teens who are reading, writing and spelling below grade level in the Winston-Salem area.  The students we teach are recommended by parents, teachers, guidance counselors and other staff members in the public school system.
