Did you know that a child's third grade reading scores can predict with 70% accuracy the likelihood they will graduate from high school?
Help a student in an elementary school near TMA by tutoring them in reading. Not sure you can tutor? Not to worry! Reading Partners uses a structured and easy-to-follow curriculum.
With just 1 hour a week, you can make a
huge difference in the lives of children who have fallen behind in
reading and are at risk of falling further. Volunteers are, in turn, supported at all times by Reading Partners school site coordinators and staff.
Reading Partners is recruiting for the 2011 - 2012 school year.
Pick any 1-hour time slot that's convenient for you between 9am and 5pm, Monday through Thursday (you are welcome to help more if able).
For more information, and to sign up, go to https://www.readingpartners.org/volunteer/washington-dc-volunteer-form.
Note: You must be at least 14 years old to volunteer with Reading Partners.
