FASTalk (Families and Students Talk) is a family engagement tool that promotes equity and builds partnerships between teachers and historically underserved families by sharing engaging, at-home learning activities via text messages in each family’s home language. 


​With FASTalk:

  • Educators easily send to families welcoming and inclusive text messages with weekly activities to reinforce classroom learning.
  • Students experience literacy gains, especially when parents do not share a home language with the teacher.
  • Messages automatically translate into 100+ languages, facilitating two-way communication between educators and families.
  • Activities are fun, fast, and easy for busy families to complete on their own time, anywhere.
  • Any caregiver with access to a cell phone can engage. No computer or internet connection required.
  • Curriculum alignment with 10 of the most widely used, high quality ELA instructional materials such as EL Education, ELA Guidebooks, and more.
