Cozy Reading Club
Mission & Methodology
J3 Cozy Reading Club is a literacy program for 4th grade scholars who are reading below grade level. Our program is based on the pillars of culturally relevant books, evidence-based programming, and school and community partnerships. J3 Cozy Reading Club is unique in that it is based on current brain research which states that it is optimal to meet our students’ human needs in order for their academic needs to be met.
Our program aims to equip students with the reading skills, habits, confidence, and book access they need to succeed. In addition, we incorporate mindfulness practices and explicit teaching of the five social emotional learning competencies during each session. Students meet twice a week during the school day to work on their literacy skills and once a week after school to practice mindfulness, enjoy quiet reading time, and so much more!
Core Elements
J3 Cozy Reading Club is full of carefully designed activities that provide our striving readers with a safe space to explore new relationships with books and give them the reading boost they need. All the while, having fun!

My kid hated reading, but now he actually enjoys it! The first time I saw him read in the car I almost cried of happiness. The first time he begged for five more minutes to read, I actually did cry. Thank you!
I have seen how the J3 Cozy Reading Club has impacted our students’ academic and social development and continues to do so each year. Most importantly, our students love attending J3 sessions. Thank you, J3 Foundation!
