Maria

Maria’s tutor, Ms. Carol, has been her constant co-pilot on this road to confidence—helping her navigate each new word. Maria’s mom, who works at Tuggle, cheers from every stop along the way, encouraging all of her children to explore every page. It’s a shared road of perseverance and partnership—families, tutors, and schools all steering together toward success.

Maria’s 40% spelling gain and 36 completed lessons last year are just milestones on a much longer route. Her story reminds us that literacy isn’t a destination; it’s an adventure that keeps unfolding. We’re grateful for every traveler who’s joined the ride—because every lesson learned, every book opened, and every mile traveled brings us closer to a Birmingham where every child can read, dream, and lead.
