OUR FRAMEWORK
A Proven Approach
We recognize the difficulty teachers face in meeting the wide variety of student needs. Our model supports teachers by providing each student with individualized attention from a caring adult. This allows students to read at their own pace, be challenged in their reading levels, and celebrate weekly progress with their Reading Pals.
- One volunteer. One student. One hour per week.
- Utilizes cognitive development principles.
- Simple and effective in helping students achieve measurable progress.
