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.

Assessments

In our effort to deliver targeted support in reading, we offer various assessments to identify reading weaknesses and the students who would benefit the most from our support.

Intervention

Intervention is free to qualifying students who have been identified with a reading weakness. Once need of support is determined, an intervention plan will be created and shared.
