We are so excited to commence our 1st year of partnership with PNC Foundation that will benefit over 500 students throughout the city of Miami, particularly, the Overtown area.

We have 100+ active students to start, with a 90% assessment average across schools and afterschool programs including:

Touching Miami with Love (Overtown, Dorsey, West Homestead), Overtown Optimist Club, and Urgent Academy in Overtown.

Here's what Overtown Optimist Club's Executive Director had to say about launching Rhymes with Reason:

“RWR's commitment to increasing reading fluency and vocabulary aligns with our agency goals, in addition to increasing the academic motivation for students.” 

-Ieshia Haynie, Executive Director


As of February 2025, the first cohort has already made amazing progress with students learning an average of 51 new words and a class average assessment score of 82%. A couple of standout students have an average quiz score of 100%


We are so excited to expand our Miami impact with this new, concerted effort to assist as many Miami students as possible this year and beyond.
