Program Overview

Mission

Reading Results partners with schools to support students from systemically excluded communities in becoming successful readers. We believe that literacy is a basic human right, and we work to increase access and break down barriers through supporting students with an effective, individualized, culturally-responsive reading intervention program.

Program Description

Reading Results partners with schools to identify early-grade students who are falling behind in reading and provides student-centered, individualized reading support. Our highly trained tutors (licensed teachers and members from the school community) deliver a culturally-responsive program designed to accelerate literacy and foster an academic mindset. Tutors meet 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3 with struggling readers for 30 minutes, three times per week throughout the school year.
