Now recruiting for the 2012-2013 school year! Tutoring will start again in September 2012. We encourage interested volunteers to sign up, as we will be emailing reminders and updates to potential tutors over the summer.
A child’s third grade reading scores can predict with 70% accuracy the likelihood they will graduate from high school.
Reading Partners provides an opportunity for volunteers from the community to give one 45 minute session each week to tutor one-on-one with an elementary school student.
Pick any 1-hour time slot that’s convenient for you between 9am and 5pm, Monday through Thursday (you are welcome to help more if able).
Reading Partners uses a very structured and easy-to-follow curriculum.
One-on-one instruction at the student’s reading level provides the opportunity for individualized academic attention and a healthy learning relationship with you, the volunteer.
Volunteers are, in turn, supported at all times by Reading Partners school site coordinators and staff.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to help children become lifelong readers by empowering communities to provide individualized instruction with measurable results.
Description
Reading Partners is a national education nonprofit that partners with students, their families, schools, and communities to provide students with individualized literacy support and the foundational skills they need to read at grade level by fourth grade. We do this by training community volunteers to deliver one-on-one, literacy lessons, using our structured and easy to follow, evidence-based curriculum. Volunteer tutoring happens in-person via our Reading Partners Traditional program and virtually via our Reading Partners Connects program. Programming varies by region. We currently serve twelve regions, nationwide: Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Denver, North Texas, Tulsa, Twin Cities, South Carolina, Washington DC, Baltimore, and New York.
