About Read Ahead
Read Ahead provides elementary school students with reading-based mentoring programs and the resources that strengthen their confidence and prepare them for future success. Read Ahead carefully matches students at under-resourced schools with caring adult mentors who build consistent, one-on-one relationships with them. By reading together, students and mentors develop trust and connection while making reading fun, engaging, and driven by students’ own interests and curiosity.
Fewer than half of public school students in New York City are reading at grade level. For elementary school students — who are at a critical age where children learn to read, and form the foundation of their relationship with school and learning — the need for additional, individualized support has never been more urgent.
