What We Do:

TinyIvy is a mission-driven literacy company committed to making reading a guaranteed skill, not a gamble. Our patented TIPS system is grounded in the Science of Reading and has helped thousands of early readers make rapid, measurable progress. Now, we’re bringing that same clarity and impact to adult learners. Through our RISE (Reintegration, Instruction, Support, Empowerment) program, we provide incarcerated adults with a structured literacy path that integrates reading instruction, mental health support, and life skills. RISE is built around a five-phase roadmap that moves learners from foundational reading to GED readiness and reentry success—because literacy is the foundation of freedom, dignity, and opportunity.

TinyIvy is transforming literacy for incarcerated adults. We’re looking for a skilled curriculum developer to adapt our early literacy program (TIPS) into a trauma-informed, adult-centered curriculum grounded in the Science of Reading.
