OREGON—Kelly Education, the nation’s most trusted provider of education talent and workforce solutions, was selected as a tutoring vendor in Oregon under the Early Literacy Success Grants program. As districts and charter schools across the state begin selecting partners from the newly published list of approved vendors, Kelly Education stands ready to deliver impactful, evidence-based tutoring services tailored to Pre-K through 3rd-grade students.
The Early Literacy Success Grants, part of HB3198 and administered by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE), represent a $90 million investment to improve reading and writing outcomes for young learners. This funding supports professional development, coaching, and high-dosage tutoring rooted in the science of reading and writing. For districts seeking external support, 21 approved providers are available. Among them, Kelly Education stands out by delivering high-quality, in-person tutoring services focused on early literacy. With a robust recruiting infrastructure and the capability to scale operations within just four to six weeks, Kelly Education offers a uniquely effective solution for addressing critical educational needs.
“Early literacy is the foundation of student achievement, and we are honored to bring our dedicated approach to Oregon,” said Dr. Stephanie Wall, director of learning services. “Our team understands the urgency of this moment. By working directly with districts to implement high-quality tutoring programs, we can help every child build the competence and confidence they need to thrive as readers and writers.”
The Early Literacy Success tutoring model emphasizes small group (up to 1:4) or one-on-one sessions, delivered at least twice weekly for 10 weeks or more. To meet unique student needs effectively, tutors receive training in culturally responsive practices and work within school-provided curricula, ensuring alignment with district goals. Kelly Education’s programs also address the challenges districts face, such as staffing challenges, overburdened staff, and the complexities of hiring and managing tutors.
By partnering with Kelly Education, districts benefit from a scalable and economical solution designed to enhance literacy outcomes, alleviate staffing pressures, and foster educational achievement.
