On Monday evening, PIX11 featured Read Alliance, highlighting the impact of its virtual summer program. Reporter Monica Morales spoke with the parent of a READ student, two teen leaders, three certified teachers, as well as READ Executive Director Danielle Guindo.

"There's nothing more important than teaching your child to read," Morales begins. "When the pandemic hit, a New York City program sprung into action, connecting more than 80 teenagers who needed jobs with kids who needed a little bit of help with their reading." Read Alliance has enrolled 112 children in its citywide program this summer and plans to be able to implement the virtual program model during the school year as well.
