    About Us

    PHILLY READING COACHES is an early literacy program based on proven models that combines early reading support, access to books, and community volunteers to boost the reading skills of our city’s children. The program works by pairing trained volunteers with young students - kindergarten through 3rd grade, and by providing fun and child-guided reading experiences that help build reading skills and motivation. Each child in the program also receives 25 free books to take home.
