READ History
The Reading Excellence and Discovery (READ)
Foundation was established in 1999 to address the high proportion
of low-income students demonstrating below grade level reading
skills.
READ’s founders chose a research-based educational approach,
the Reading
for All Learners Program (RALP) which is aligned
with current reading research and the recommendations of
the National Reading Panel. RALP yields measurable results
for students and address reading difficulties before they
become barriers to learning. At the same time, READ’s founders
sought personal and professional growth opportunities for
teens. |
