WE BUILD THEM INTO LEADERS OF TOMORROW!
Nationwide, African American & Latin children overwhelmingly lack proficiency in reading.
OUR MISSON
The Reading Alliance's mission is to increase reading proficiency rates by the end of third grade.
Instruction and assessments based on evidence-based literacy models, informed by the Science of Reading
Our research-backed approach to in-person literacy tutoring was incubated on years of education experience and research projects performed by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Our in-person model was designed and developed by leaders in early childhood education to create a synchronous learning experience with proven learning impact.
WHY WORK WITH US
“Only 18 percent of African American students and 20 percent of Latin students read at or above level of proficiency.”

"The purpose of education is transmit from one generation to the next the accumulated wisdom and knowledge of the society, and prepare children fro their future participation in the maintenance and development of the society." - President Julius Nyerere, Tanzania
The Reading Alliance works to unleash the power of community working together to solve the literacy problem our students face. We believe all children should be reading at grade level by the end of third grade— the time at which reading to learn, and not just learning to read, becomes essential.
Having the ability to reading at an early age is essential to later success in education, employment, and life. Students who are not reading at proficient levels by the end of third grade are more likely to struggle throughout their school years, which in turn leads to higher dropout rates and fewer students being college and career ready. Increasing proficiency rates and closing the achievement gap are among the most persistent educational challenges we face in Arizona. Research shows that when community leaders, members, and public and private agencies collectively work as partners to share the responsibility for all children reading on grade level by the end of third grade is attainable.
Districts & Schools
The Reading Alliance partners with districts and schools throughout Maricopa County to close the student achievement gaps in literacy. We offer tutoring programs that best suit each student and help them learn at an accelerated rate. Our program is designed to be turnkey, flexible, and seamless. Through planning and collaboration, LEADER's are effortlessly integrated into your lead teachers classroom.
Families
Each child learns at their own pace, and sometimes families need additional support outside of school hours. The Reading Alliance offers 1:1 in-person and online literacy tutoring at home to help children keep up, catch up, or advance beyond their grade level. We identify and address each child's unique needs and offer an instructional plan most beneficial to their enrichment.
