Team Read Volunteer Tutor

Through the Team Read™ program, trained community volunteers are partnered with students who need help developing their literacy skills. These tutors provide one-on-one mentoring twice a week during the school day. With the help of Team Read tutors, many students make strides to catch up to their peers in their class before the end of the school year. Team Read differentiates itself from traditional volunteer reading programs by utilizing science of reading research-based interventions that have shown significant student improvement between the beginning and ending of the academic year for students enrolled in the program. Team Read encourages community engagement and cultivates positive adult-child relationships for the students. Team Read is currently offered in 12 elementary schools in Kennewick and North Franklin.
