Teach a child to read and transform their future

Literacy First has become known at the local, state and national level as a tutoring program that changes lives. And by giving this Gift to Change the World, you’ll reach more students, develop more teachers and strengthen classroom-based reading instruction — which is vital given the dramatic decrease in reading levels since the pandemic.

"Our first and second graders have never had a normal school year. We know teachers are not going to be able to address the needs of these individual students alone, and that the impact is likely to be felt well beyond this year. If left unattended, this opportunity gap will persist, and the journey to become a fluent, joyful reader will be long and arduous. The need for Literacy First has never been more urgent."

-Claire Hagen Alvarado, Program Director, Literacy First
