Bee-lieve in Reading Foundation

Because every child deserves the power to read, dream, and thrive.

The Bee-lieve in Reading Foundation was created by Sugar Bees Academy to ensure that no child is left behind because of financial barriers.

Through our community-funded programs, we provide free and low-cost reading support for children who struggle to read at grade level.

Our Mission

To create equal access to literacy by offering structured, research-based reading programs for children from Kindergarten to Grade 9.

Every program is built on our belief that reading is not just an academic skill — it’s a gateway to confidence, opportunity, and lifelong learning.

What We Do

  • Free Community Reading Clinics: Small-group and one-on-one literacy sessions for children who need extra support.
  • School and Community Partnerships: We work with local schools and organizations to reach students most in need.
  • Volunteer-Led Literacy Pods: Powered by teacher candidates, trained volunteers, and certified educators.
  • Family Support: Parents receive strategies and reports to reinforce reading progress at home.

Why it Matters

1 in 4 children in Canada struggles with reading. Many never receive the intervention they need because of limited access or cost.

Your support helps us close that gap — providing children with the tools, confidence, and community they need to succeed.

How You Can Help

  • Volunteer Your Time – Support reading pods, mentor students, or assist with community literacy events.
  • Donate or Sponsor a Child – Every contribution directly funds free tutoring for families in need.
  • Partner With Us – Schools, libraries, and community groups can collaborate to host local reading clinics.
