📚 Strong readers start with strong foundations.

In the newest episode of The INK! Podcast, we’re shining a spotlight on Five Learning Years (FLY), INK!’s early literacy program helping Pre-K, Kindergarten, and first-grade students build the foundational skills they need to become stronger, more confident readers.

🎙️ Hear from Mary Alice Hayes, FLY Program Director, about how targeted literacy intervention, experienced tutors, and community investment are helping young learners close literacy gaps and prepare for future success.

The impact is measurable: During the 2025–26 school year, over 330 students participated in FLY, making significant gains in critical early literacy skills.

Join our partners at St. Augustine Youth Services (SAYS) for an informative presentation led by Dr. Rick Filippi. Drawing from the extensive research of Dr. Russell Barkley, Dr. Filippi will help community members better understand how ADHD affects children's behavior, emotions, relationships, and ability to complete everyday tasks.

This presentation is designed for parents, caregivers, and others who support children with ADHD or similar attention and focus challenges. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of their child and practical ideas they can begin using at home.

📚✨ Our Family Literacy Night St. Johns County 2026-2027 Tour is off to a great start!

Last night, we kicked off the first of 10 Family Literacy Nights happening across St. Johns County at Freedom Crossing Academy!

These special evenings introduce families to New Worlds Reading, Florida’s free at-home literacy program for eligible students. As a New Worlds Reading Regional Partner, INK! is helping connect St. Johns County families with books and resources that encourage reading at home, strengthen literacy skills, and build a lifelong love of reading.

Our first Family Literacy Night featured The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds, celebrating the power of words and the fun of discovering, collecting, and sharing them.

A special thank you to our incredible Creekside High School student volunteers and our community partner, Leonard's Photography, for helping make the evening possible.

Thank you to the Freedom Crossing Academy team and all the Falcon families who joined us to kick off this exciting series! We even had a special VIP guest stop by, FCA's very own Freddy the Falcon! 🦅💙

📚 One Family Literacy Night down, nine to go!

Next stop: Trout Creek Academy 10/27/26! We can’t wait to continue bringing families together around books, literacy, and the joy of reading. 💙
