Our Impact

Read Alliance provides striving READers with the building blocks to academic success through phonics instruction based on the science of reading. Our leveled reading program reinforces foundational reading skills and phonemic awareness. While early literacy remains at the core of our mission, our unique model also employs teens to provide high dosage tutoring to their younger peers, tackling a secondary challenge of youth unemployment, particularly among low-income, young people of color.
