Elementary schools:

READ might be a good fit for your elementary school if you have:

• Committed teachers or classroom aides willing to lead instruction as READ Teachers;
  
  
• A minimum of 32 kindergarten and 1st grade students identified as struggling readers or as being at risk of falling behind in reading who would benefit from working with a role model teen tutor; and,
  
  
• Adequate classroom space.

If you are interested in bringing READ to your elementary school, please contact Lavinia Mancuso at (646) 867-6105 or lmancuso@readnyc.org.

• must fulfill community service requirements for graduation

• would like to make a dramatic and positive difference in the life of a child
