Expanding literacy access in Minnesota

Reading Partners became part of the Minnesota educational landscape in 2015, when we first began harnessing the power of community volunteers to make a meaningful and measurable difference in reading proficiency across the Twin Cities. Our individualized tutoring model is backed by evidence-based research proven to raise the reading proficiency of students who are at least six months below grade level in reading.
