Welcome
to the Home of Better Basics!
At Better
Basics, our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of children and their families by advancing literacy through
enrichment and intervention programs. Better Basics Inc., a 501(C)(3), non-profit United Way agency, was incorporated
in 1994 and is not affiliated with any other group or organization. We currently
provide our services to 52 schools in Birmingham and surrounding school systems.
Our teachers and staff are working hard to help struggling readers make
great strides in reading and learning skills. Better Basics enjoys the support of foundations, businesses, individuals,
and the United Way of Central Alabama, a member agency since 1998.
Special
thanks to The Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham for its support.
