Reading Partners is a national literacy non-profit with a
strong affiliate here in Dallas. We provide one-on-one personalized literacy
instruction to help students reading 6 months to 2.5 years behind grade level.
We empower the community to make a positive change and transform each child’s
reading experience. Our model is research-based and outcome oriented. Research has
shown 83% of fourth graders from low-income families are reading below grade
level. For every month with RP, our students typically gain 1.6 months of
reading skills. We are working to make literacy a national priority so that
every child can reach his or her full potential through the joy and power of
reading!
So many people have been asking, so I have been practicing
how to offer the above description of where I work word-for-word. With a few
more practices, I should be able to quote it in my sleep! Are you interested in
being one of our wonderful volunteer-tutors : ) Please see here.
