More Than Words empowers youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society. More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually.

About the author

Lori Helman, PhD, is a faculty member in literacy education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Her research investigates literacy development and effective teaching practices for English learners at the elementary school level. She teaches classes in literacy learning in diverse contexts, literacy instruction with English learners, reading assessment and reading difficulty, and literacy leadership for reading specialists as they develop expertise across their professional careers. Dr. Helman works collaboratively with a number of practicing teachers to investigate the literacy teaching methods that are most successful with English learners. Her three decades in education have included teaching bilingual elementary school for 16 years, leading new teacher support programs, and serving as a district literacy coordinator. She brings this solid teaching background into her university research agenda and professional writing. In addition to numerous published research articles, Dr. Helman has written chapters, articles, and curriculum support materials that guide teachers to apply second-language literacy research in their classrooms. She is the lead author (along with Donald R. Bear) of Words Their Way with English Learners: Word Study for Spelling, Phonics, and Vocabulary Instruction.
