Rhymes with Reason has partnered with The New England Patriots Foundation to bring the program to 500 students in the Boston & Providence Area. New England Area schools and Boys & Girls clubs are slated to utilize Rhymes with Reason for the 3rd consecutive year in 2026. 

The top performing upper elementary and middle school students will be eligible for prizes like Patriots merch and player-signed memorobilia. Rewards will be distributed throughout the school year with milestone assessments in January, April, and June. 

Our primary objective is to build confidence for New England students involved in the program supported by assessment scores and reading level progression to measure academic improvement.

We are proud to share this moment with our community and will update this page throughout 2026-27 related to the progress of this partnership.

We are so excited about the multiple ways we are delivering impact across New England. This is exactly what we plan to do in other regions of the United States that are in need of a boost in both student engagement and literacy development.

Students in the Greater Boston & Providence area will be impacted in 2026-27.

Rhymes with Reason is a educational technology program utilized in over 300 schools across the country. We make a difference alongside high profile organizations including Chance the Rapper’s SocialWorks, The Los Angeles Chargers Impact Fund, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kaiser Permanente, The City of Detroit’s Grow Detroit Young Talent and San Diego’s Founders First Capital Partners CDC.

The program's music-powered approach to closing the vocabulary and reading gap serves as a refreshing learning experience for youth in grades 2 through 12.
