Praise for Mighty Writers

Have something Mighty
to say about our programs?

My toddler wants to go to Mighty Writers every day!


Emily Volk

My son loves this program so much. Every day, he asks to go to Mighty Writers (sometimes instead of daycare) and he tells me that he wants to play with Ms. Martha (his Mighty Toddlers teacher). Since starting the class, he started pointing out letters on signs, in books and even in tattoos! He engages in much more imaginative play than he did before and makes up spontaneous stories during play. He is so proud of himself and everything he is learning. This program is amazing, and we are so glad we found out about it. It is our favorite part of the week, and I tell everyone about it.

My fifth grader is reading on an eighth-grade level thanks to MW


Dwi Setiawan

Indyla is now in fifth grade and she has an eighth-grade reading level. It's Mighty Writers that helped her sharpen her skills in ELA (English is not our first language). Another idea for brainstorming: Why doesn't Mighty Writers offer after-school programs in school? It can be difficult for parents with young kids to get to your center, but we will keep coming!

"On the Road" programs bring writing coaches to you!


Chera Kowalski, Free Library of Philadelphia

We had about six or seven participants in all. Overall, our MW On the Road workshop, Girl Power Theater, went very well — the kids actively participated in the activities and were all smiles. Workshop leader Caroline was great at redirecting them when need be, and she definitely had the energy needed to motivate them. I asked all the girls if they wanted to come back next week, and they said yes!

My son's mentor asked insightful questions


Eunice Rodríguez Ferguson

My son's mentor provided encouraging feedback and thoughtful commentary on the new version of Liam's college essay. She listened carefully to Liam's ideas and helped him to convey them logically and clearly, weaving several of his main points into a coherent draft. Her insightful questions elicited unsuspected reflections that Liam has since incorporated into his revised version to produce a more introspective essay. Liam seems more thoughtful and confident already, and we look forward to his progress in the future.

Tradiciones Mexicanas


Norma Rizo

Mil gracias por la invitación a ver la película de Coco, mis hijos quedaron fascinados, les encantó, ahora saben un poco más de nuestras tradiciones de México. Mi hijo Edwin, se identifica con Miguel, hasta grita como él y le sale muy bien. Estamos muy contentos y muy agradecidos con ustedes.

A thousand thanks for the invitation to see the movie "Coco." My children were fascinated. They loved it! Now they know a little more about our Mexican traditions. My son Edwin identifies with Miguel. He even shouts like him and it comes out very well. We are very happy and very grateful to you, Mighty Writers!

¡Qué siga la clase de español! Spanish class forever!


Rose Rodríguez

Estoy infinitamente agradecida por este programa de escritura en español. El idioma dominante de mi hija es el inglés y la única persona en hablarle y enseñarle español soy yo, su madre. Esto no es ha sido suficiente, ella necesita más personas a su alrededor que le hablen y le enseñen cómo leer y escribir con más formalidad y a usar la gramática. No puedo creer que ha sido libre de costo! Ojalá que este programa siga infinitamente y quizás algún día seria mi hija pueda enseñarle a sus hijos! Muchísimas gracias.

I am infinitely grateful for this writing program in Spanish. My daughter's dominant language is English and the only person to speak to her and teach her Spanish is me, her mother. This has not been enough, she needs more people around her to talk to her and teach her how to read and write more formally and to use grammar. I can't believe the program has been free! Hopefully, this program continues indefinitely, and maybe someday, my daughter can teach her children! Thank you very much.

My daughter forms her thoughts more clearly now


Florencia Campbell

I found out about Mighty Writers while looking for something educational for my kids to do during the summer. Ms. Shanise really connects with the kids using things they can personally relate to. My child did not have the best relationship with writing and her grades suffered for it. I have seen improvement in the formulation of her thoughts, research and transferring of ideas. Mighty Writers should expand to more areas of the city if possible so that kids from all over can experience.

Mighty Writers is a class 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2009. One hundred percent of the programs we offer are free. We serve communities in and around Philadelphia, PA, as well as in Camden, Newark and Atlantic City, NJ. We also run writing workshops in Washington Heights, NYC.
