Reading Partners Overview

Reading Partners provides literacy intervention programs to elementary schools in low-income communities through an innovative public-private partnership. At each of its partner school sites, Reading Partners is given a dedicated space within the school and recruits a corps of 40-100 community volunteers who will work one-on one with students who have fallen behind in reading. Volunteers will tutor students through a pull-out model that operates during the school day and after school, utilizing a highly structured and research-validated curriculum that builds core reading skills.

This video provides an overview of the Reading Partners program, including interviews with teachers, principals, volunteers and students.
