Mission
ChainBreakers strengthens families in Portsmouth through three commitments:putting free books in the homes of children from birth to age five, delivering phonics-based reading support for striving readers in kindergarten through 6th grade, and increasing access to nutritious food for children and families.
Program accomplishments
- Reading Enrichment Program - In 2025, Chainbreakers launched its Reading Enrichment Program - a 4-day after school program that uses the Science of Reading to build strong foundations in phonological awareness, decoding, and fluency. Students get 8 hours of focused, small-group instruction, while parents and caregivers join workshops and are empowered to support reading at home. In 2025, we worked with 25 students at Craddock Middle School. Pre- and post-assessments conducted on day one and day four consistently demonstrated measurable improvement, with all participating students reporting the ability to read words they could not decode before the program.Expenses $5,674 · revenue $5,674
