About Helping Children Achieve Grade-Level Reading

Reading Partners has been a part of the Dallas educational landscape since 2012, and Fort Worth since 2014, helping students achieve grade-level reading. Reading Partners mobilizes communities to provide students with the proven, individualized reading support they need to read at grade level by fourth grade.

An evidence-based and community-driven organization, we recruit and train volunteers to work one-on-one with students for 45 minutes twice a week, following a structured, research-based curriculum.

Our program model works and is backed by evidence-based research which proves that our students make significant gains in reading. On average, Reading Partners’ students more than double their rate of learning while in the program.
