Welcome to the Official Website of the Family Learning Institute. FLI is a non-profit, community-supported, educational organization. Our aim is to improve the reading, writing and communication skills of low-income Ann Arbor area students in grades 3-8 who are reading one or more levels below their expected grade level. Our main goal is to promote literacy among students and improve their academic skills so that they will be successful learners. In particular, we aim to raise each student's reading level one grade every six months.

"Since 1983, more than 10 million Americans reached the 12th grade without having learned to read at a basic level. In the same period, more than 6 million Americans dropped out of high school altogether." A Nation Still at Risk, United States Dept. of Education, 1999 "The educational careers of 25 to 40 percent of American children are imperiled because they don't read well enough, quickly enough, or easily enough."
