PCAT operates in three locations, one in Sulphur Springs, one at Ruskin Elementary and soon there will be one at Wimauma Elementary. Volunteer mentors come to one of the sites one day per week during after school hours. Students served are in kindergarten or first grade and have been referred by their teacher because they are not reading at grade level.
Volunteers provide one-on-one intensive reading instruction which has been proven to be effective in improving reading achievement. Educational workbooks, readers, and educational games are utilized by the volunteers according to individualized plans developed to address each child's needs. Test scores have demonstrated significant progress in reading by students who complete the program, and almost all students are promoted to the next grade.

PCAT provides after school educational activities to children in grades K-2nd. Students who are reading at below-grade level are referred to the program by their teachers. Currently the agency serves two Elementary schools in Hillsborough County- Sulphur Springs and Ruskin.
By focusing on addressing children with learning challenges early in their school experience, the program is able to ensure that children most at risk for academic failure achieve educational success. Therefore, the program helps these children to have a better future.
