Organization Description
| Mission statement | Our mission is to help children become lifelong readers by empowering communities to provide individualized instruction with measurable results. |
| Service(s) description | Together with our schools, Reading Partners focuses on students who are at least one month behind in reading, harnessing the power of community volunteers to provide individualized instruction to help them master the reading fundamentals they need to reach grade level. Our trained, committed community volunteers work one-on-one with these students, delivering a simple, proven curriculum each week to help the child begin to gain lost ground. Working one-on-one with their tutors, students who were once struggling in many subjects become proud, confident readers, excited about learning and ready for success |
| Program impact | - 85% of students meeting or exceeding their primary end-of-year literacy growth goal - 90% of students K-2 developing mastery of key foundational reading skills needed to read at grade level - 94% of principals report improved school-wide reading progress - 100% of teachers report Reading Partners is valuable to their school |
