When kids read, they succeed.
Through third grade, children learn to read. From fourth grade on, they read to learn. Research shows that third-grade reading proficiency is a powerful predictor of later academic achievement. A student who is not at least moderately successful in reading by the third grade is unlikely to graduate from high school. When kids read, they can succeed.
Schools of Hope, a United Way-led initiative in partnership with Racine Unified School District, local businesses and community members, provides young children with tutors on a regular basis to increase reading achievement in the early grades. Tutoring sessions take place during the school day. All training and supplies are provided. No experience necessary. Tutors are asked to commit to a minimum of 30 minutes per week during the school year (October through May).
