Organization Information

Mission Statement

To create a school-year, evidence-based, volunteer literacy intervention during the hours outside of school that both increase the levels of literacy success for children in grades K-3 and increases the level of civic health in Philadelphia neighborhoods.

Description

PHILLY READING COACHES is an early literacy program based on proven models that combines early reading support, access to books, and community volunteers to boost the reading skills of our city’s children. The program works by pairing trained volunteers with young students - kindergarten through 3rd grade, and by providing fun and child-guided reading experiences that help build reading skills and motivation. Each child in the program also receives 25 free books to take home.
