The Reading Partners Traditional Program

Together with our school partners, Reading Partners focuses on supporting students who are several months to two and a half years behind grade level in reading. We harness the power of community volunteers to provide individualized literacy instruction with measurable results to help students master the reading fundamentals they need to reach grade level. Working one-on-one with their tutors, students who were once trending behind in reading become proud, confident readers, excited about learning and ready for success.
