The Importance of Literacy in Education
Reading proficiency among US fourth-graders is low, especially for black students and those in low-income communities. Reading Partners aims to provide high-quality literacy education by offering one-on-one tutoring through dedicated volunteers and AmeriCorps members. These members assist K-3-4 students in developing lifelong reading skills, and recruitment for new members is ongoing to make a significant impact on children's lives.
