Reading Partners-Tulsa

Our Mission

Our mission is to help children become lifelong readers by empowering communities to provide individualized instruction with measurable results.

Our Vision

We envision a future where all children in this nation have the reading skills they need to reach their full potential.

Our Need

Thanks so much for your interest in Reading Partners-Tulsa.

We work with students who are reading 0.5 - 2.5 years behind their grade level. The Reading Partners program works to improve their literacy skills. All work is done one-on-one with a very structured curriculum, and with the guidance of a full-time staff member who is on site running the program.

There is no experience needed and we provide the curriculum, training, and all the materials. In order to volunteer with Reading Partners, we will ask that you're generally able to commit consistently to one hour per week for the remainder of the semester.

We are in 15 schools in the TPS School district: Anderson, Celia Clinton, Cooper, Eugene Field, Hawthorne, Jackson, Kendall-Whittier, Kerr, Key, Mark Twain, McClure, Mitchell, Park, Sequoyah, and Skelly Elementary Schools.

Our centers operate Monday - Thursday, and while every school site's schedule is a little different, most school's tutoring sessions will take place between 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. A great map of the 15 schools we're operating in this year can be found at: http://info.readingpartners.org/volunteer-in-tulsa.
