Read Alliance

In 2000, Read Alliance’s founders piloted a literacy model that brought together a phonics curriculum, struggling young readers and teen reading tutors. Twenty-five years later, Read Alliance has employed more than 20,000 high school youth providing over 22,000 kindergarten, first and second grade students with reading tutoring in low-income neighborhoods in 3 states.
