Transforming America’s future by ensuring every child and teen reads on grade level and is prepared to succeed in the workforce and beyond.

READ USA trains, supervises, and pays teens from under-resourced communities to provide evidence-based reading tutoring where reading gains are achieved by the teens as well as the elementary school students they lead.

For $15 each, every student in an entire elementary school or site in under-resourced communities participates in our free book fair and gets to choose 3 FREE brand new books to own!

READ USA provides resources and learning opportunities for parents and families to support literacy learning outside of school.

As seen in Ms. Tussey’s classroom over ten years ago, teachers can empower students to be lifelong readers and learners.
