School Success

Children learn to read in the primary grades (1st to 3rd grade). In fourth grade and beyond, they read to learn. We train volunteers to spend 1/2 hour with a child who is learning to read. Each volunteer will read with the same two students over a semester or year. Our volunteers focus on demonstrating a love of reading and having fun while they read.

ReadFresno concentrates its efforts on reaching children in the lowest performing elementary schools in Fresno County. ReadFresno launched a pilot program in four schools in 2005. Now we have over 225 volunteers in 29 schools.
