Our mission is to change the way the world looks at literacy
How it Started
Our founder, Cynthia D'Amico, started her career as an attorney but ultimately chose to follow her passion for teaching. As a high school English teacher, she quickly realized that a majority of her students came into her classroom without the necessary foundational skills they needed to succeed in college. In collaboration with her students, she developed a systematic approach to ensure that all the necessary foundational pieces were in place when it came to reading and writing skills. Her tremendous success with her own students inspired her to create The Colors of English to teach the skills required by state standards in the elementary grades and beyond.
Taking Flight
We began running our first pilot program at Notre Dame School of Milwaukee in 2021, catering to grades first through fourth. Within less than a year, we witnessed remarkable progress. Our partnership with Notre Dame has been ongoing, and the feedback from teachers regarding the curriculum has been overwhelmingly positive. Moreover, our multi-sensory learning materials have been enthusiastically embraced by students, as they provide an effective and personalized approach to learning that caters to their unique needs.
Soaring High
Our proven success is enabling us to spread our wings and extend our reach to additional school districts through our Colors of English program. If you're interested in learning more, or if you know a teacher, school district, or motivated parent that could benefit from a research-based curriculum that employs the science of reading to teach the English language in an effective and engaging manner, reach out!
