Reading Help for Elementary School Students

By the end of third grade, students are expected to use reading to learn across subjects like math, science, history, and more. But for students with significant reading challenges, traditional classroom instruction may not be enough.

Reading Assist partners with schools and communities to support K–3 students who are in the lowest 25% for reading proficiency. Through high-impact tutoring, coaching, professional learning, and teacher pipeline support, we help students build foundational reading skills while helping schools strengthen literacy capacity over time.

Our programs are designed to provide direct support for young readers and practical support for the educators and partners serving them.
