A family story
Marisol read her first chapter book out loud to her little brother.
She joined our after-school program in second grade, three reading levels behind. Two years and one very patient tutor later, she finished her first chapter book — and her mother now leads a family reading circle on Thursdays.
“The tutors never made my daughter feel behind. They just kept handing her the next book.”

A gift of $25 puts ten new books into a child’s home. A few hours a week makes you the adult who sits beside them while they sound it out.
