Case Study: Kids Read Now achieves 4x parent reach and reliable short-code SMS delivery with Slooce Technology

Kids Read Now - Customer Case Study

Kids Read Now, an education nonprofit fighting summer learning loss for K–3 students, relied on weekly parent contact to keep children reading over the break. As enrollment grew, messages sent through a previous provider’s long codes were increasingly flagged and blacklisted by carriers, blocking critical communications. To fix this, Kids Read Now turned to Slooce Technology for reliable short-code two-way SMS, a flexible API, and web-based reporting.

Slooce Technology implemented short-code 2‑way texting, message packs, and API-driven workflows, restoring instant delivery and scaling outreach; deliveries reached four times the prior parent volume and supported growth to nearly 42,000 enrolled students (with 100,000 projected by summer 2019) while keeping operational costs fixed. With Slooce Technology’s dependable messaging, participating children read several levels above classmates who were not enrolled, demonstrating clear, measurable program impact.
