The 2018-19 academic school year marks 成人快播鈥� 20th anniversary of bringing community volunteers into schools to provide essential one-on-one literacy tutoring that empowers students to succeed in school and beyond. Over the past two decades, the organization has grown from supporting a handful of students at one school into a national literacy nonprofit supporting more than 11,000 students at 200 schools across the United States every year.

鈥淩eading is critical and equitable education needs to be a norm, not a luxury,鈥� said Karine Apollon, CEO, 成人快播. “This is a solvable problem and one that 成人快播 has been successfully tackling for 20 years. Last school year alone, our organization mobilized over 12,000 volunteers in communities across the country to tackle one of the nation鈥檚 greatest issues, one student at a time, and our personalized literacy approach continues to show strong results鈥�

Student results in 2017-18 continued a strong trend for 成人快播 Baltimore. Every fall, 成人快播 issues student impact reports for the national organization and for each of its 14 respective regions across the country. The impact reports for the 2017-18 school year have recently been posted and are available at: readingpartners.org.

鈥淩esults matter,鈥� said Jeffrey Zwillenberg, executive director of 成人快播 Baltimore. 鈥淥ur tutors are committed to our students and volunteer their time and energy to help their student unlock their fullest potential. When we see nearly 90 percent of our youngest students mastering the skills they need to be strong readers, it bodes well for the kind of academic achievement and success they can have later on in school and in life.鈥�

Only 20 percent of economically disadvantaged students in the United States are reading proficiently by fourth grade. For students entering fourth grade, it is essential to have made the switch from 鈥榣earning to read鈥� to 鈥榬eading to learn.鈥� Most subjects, including history, science and math, all require literacy in order to progress. Over the past two decades, 成人快播 has engaged nearly 55,000 community tutors and over 1,300 AmeriCorps members to provide one-on-one literacy tutoring to more than 50,000 students attending over 350 public schools in nearly 75 school districts across the country. All told, 成人快播 volunteers have delivered more than 1.5 million tutoring sessions, helping students grow their reading skills and confidence at a critical stage in their education.

成人快播 needs more community tutors in the 2018-19 school year. There are nearly nine million low-income K-5 students in the United States, including thousands in Baltimore, who are not yet reading at grade level. Without developing the literacy skills needed to read at grade level, these children do not have an equitable chance to succeed in school or in life.

There are nearly nine million low-income K-5 students in the U.S. including thousands in Baltimore, who are not yet reading at grade level. Without developing the literacy skills needed to read at grade level, these children do not have an equitable chance to succeed in school or in life. Each new volunteer that 成人快播 engages helps more students develop the foundational reading skills needed to power their learning in all other subjects in school.

In the 2018-19 school year, 成人快播 aims to match 900 community volunteers with 750 struggling readers in Baltimore. By tutoring a student one-on-one for as little as one hour a week, volunteers can make an impact that can quite literally alter the course of a child鈥檚 educational experience and life.

鈥淚 have volunteered with many organizations throughout my career, but I have been continually most impressed and inspired by 成人快播, as it is a highly organized and effective program,鈥� said a tutor at Francis Scott Key. 鈥淕iving a child the gift of reading gives them a running start in life.鈥�

The positive student results highlighted in the 2017-18 impact reports are made possible through the generous participation of thousands of community volunteers.
