Impact on Young Readers
Improving Reading Proficiency
Reading Assist’s proven, evidence-based approach to reading instruction makes a measurable difference for our students. We recruit and train Reading Assist Fellows to provide high-dosage tutoring to struggling readers. In just one year or less, Reading Assist brings students to benchmarks in foundational reading skills and accelerates the pace at which students learn.
Working together with some of the highest need elementary schools, we identify students who are struggling to read. We connect students with our fellows, who serve them on a daily basis and set them on a path to reading success.

Why It Works
Reading Assist’s model works because students receive consistent, structured instruction from trained fellows, while schools get the progress monitoring and support they need to track growth over time.
