Mission
Year-round, one-to-one tutoring program provided at Title 1 schools to students not at grade-level proficiency in reading. Tutors are area teens recruited and trained to deliver reading support.
Program accomplishments
- Team Read's mission is: "Team Read propels students to become inspired, joyful readers and teens to become impactful leaders, ready to succeed in school and life, building stronger communities for all." In alignment with this mission, students in grades 8 through 12 serve as reading coaches (tutors) to 2nd and 3rd-grade students (4th grade in some schools) who are reading at least one year below grade level. This dual-impact model helps students reading below grade level become confident readers and helps teens develop work and life skills. This year, Team Read strengthened both program fidelity and responsiveness to site-level needs through targeted improvements to curriculum, logistics, and staff support. All districts implemented a consistent curriculum that included Word Work and phonics packets to reinforce foundational reading skills. Updates to the Power Reader Journal and the integration of monthly themes further enhanced instructional alignment and student engagement. Site Coordinators were supported through structured training, regular check-ins, and new tools like observation notebooks, which promoted quality implementation. Reading Coaches benefited from more flexible training options, with ongoing professional development in literacy and behavior management generating continued interest.Expenses $527,446 · grants $160,640
