Harvard EdCast: The Tutors

According to the Reading Partners website, “Students reading below grade level in third grade are four times as likely as their peers to drop out of school before earning their diploma.” That is why the national nonprofit has made it its mission to improve students’ reading skills by providing one-on-one tutoring sessions with qualified and well-trained community volunteers.

In this edition of the EdCast, Michael Lombardo, CEO of Reading Partners, shares his organization’s “secret sauce” for closing the reading achievement gap.
