Children’s Perspectives on Literacy Skill-Building Activities in OST Programs

Researcher’s Notebook

By Greer Marshall

In 2019, NIOST began working on the Philadelphia Out-of-School Time Literacy and Quality Improvement Initiative (OSTLit), which continued through December 2023. During these four years, with funding from the William Penn Foundation, NIOST trained program leaders and staff at 10 Philadelphia afterschool programs to facilitate literacy skill-building experiences for elementary school aged children. NIOST investigated the impacts of this support by observing program practices and interviewing program staff.
