Why Support Us


Children's Literacy is in a State of Crisis
  • Across the country, 87% of fourth-graders from low-income communities are reading below grade level. Read more NEED

  • For a healthy society, it's critical we have a literate, educated population.

  • Reading Partners focuses on reaching children early when they begin to struggle with reading.

  • In some of our schools, Reading Partners is the only reading intervention program offered due to significant budget cuts in 2009.

Reading Partners Delivers Outstanding Results.
Reading Partners measures student results to ensure the program works.  Each year, you'll get a progress report that lets you measure your return on investment.  Read more RESULTS

Our Program is an Intuitive Solution for a Critical Problem.
If you or someone you know has ever struggled with a learning new skill, you know that a little bit of individual help can make a big difference.  When children from middle class or affluent families struggle in a subject, their parents get them a tutor.  But for parents who are straining to put food on the table, tutoring is a luxury they can't afford.  Reading Partners program proves that one-on-one tutoring works. 

Reading Partners Model Has Broad Impact.
Using a structured curriculum, Reading Partners is a program that offers an easy, effective way for a large number of volunteers to get involved and work one-on-one with children.  Our core competency is providing an easy, positive volunteer model to engage volunteers from all walks of life to make a tangible difference in a child's life.  Read more differentiation
