About Reading Partners:


Since 2009, Reading Partners Sacramento has engaged community volunteers to provide students with the proven, individualized reading support they need to read at grade level by fourth grade. Research shows that students who read at grade level by fourth grade have a greater opportunity to succeed in school and in life. We believe that reading transforms lives and empowers children to reach their full potential. 


This year, we are partnering with eight under-resourced schools and will engage 480 volunteer reading partners to work one-on-one with 400 students who struggle with reading.


We use an evidence-based curriculum and provide the tools our volunteers need to be effective tutors. Volunteers work one-on-one with the same student for 45 minutes twice a week, for an entire school year, building a relationships that transcend literacy learning and improve student's social and emotional well-being.


In the 2017-18 school year, 90% of the students we served met or exceeded their literacy goals.
