reader For LIFE

Students who love reading keep reading throughout their LIFETIME.

They reinvest that knowledge and passion back into their communities, workspaces, and families.

“When students, who once faced barriers in their literary journey, become excited about and proficient in reading, they are 4 times more likely to proudly walk across their graduation stage.” -Annie E. Casey Foundation

Testimonials

Morgen went from refusing to read with no desire to even try to read sight words; to reading level 1 books all by herself.  Her desire to read, self confidence, and enjoyment of getting words right has been wonderful to see.
She reads books now which is an amazing accomplishment in only a few short months!

We are so inspired by our STAIR program. It is so exciting watching the students turn from striving readers into independent, confident readers. The weekly commitment from the volunteers is so impressive. We know our students are empowered by their tutor. Thank you for helping our students achieve in reading!
