The mission of the Washington Reading Corps Program is to improve reading abilities of K-6 students across Washington State . This is achieved through research-based tutoring of struggling readers and effective collaborations among schools, families, community members, National Service, businesses, and state partners.

The members of the Washington Reading Corps are committed to one thing: Giving attention to our children. Literacy is the act of reading and writing. All these children need is for us to listen to them read, and to read what they've written. With ample attention, they will prosper.
