A Bit Of Background
Right to Read is a nonprofit organization committed to supporting the literacy achievement of at-risk minorities in kindergarten through 3rd grade by providing literacy support to promote observable reading growth, confidence and success.

Developing Capable and Confident Readers
Why We Do What We Do
88% of students who were struggling readers in third grade did not graduate from high school.
Research indicates that reading below a third grade level correlates with incarceration, poverty rates, school drop-out rates and future academic challenges.
Hispanic and African American third graders in the Houston area were 2 times more likely to perform unsatisfactorily on the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) reading assessment in 2013.
One of the most important predictors of graduating from high school is proficient reading by the end of third grade.
We offer three different models of literacy support. This support is free to students and families who qualify.
Right to Read provides individual and small group reading intervention to students with identified reading weaknesses.
The Right To Read Educator Mentoring Program is an exclusive membership for reading interventionists and specialists, dyslexia therapists, tutors and classroom teachers looking for hands-on support and resources to promote the reading success, confidence and enjoyment of their students.
