Reading Results

Mission

Reading Results partners with schools to support students from systemically excluded communities in becoming successful readers. We believe that literacy is a basic human right, and we work to increase access and break down barriers through supporting students with an effective, individualized, culturally-responsive reading intervention program.

Reading by third grade is crucial to a child’s educational development. Falling behind creates challenges that negatively impact a child’s education and self-esteem for years to come. Reading Results is committed to helping struggling learners get on the path toward academic success and a brighter future.

Bottom Line

Oregon ranks 46th for fourth-grade reading in the United States. 

100% of Reading Results students make gains in their literacy skills.

With your support, Reading Results will provide individualized tutoring sessions to 1,400 students at 42 schools in Portland, Oregon City, and Salem. Each student receives science-backed, personalized instruction and learns the skills and strategies needed to be a successful reader.

Quote

“Every time a student’s eyes light up and you know they have mastered a skill that was once hard for them, or when students are happy to see us in the hallway, or when former students say they miss us...then I know we made a difference!”

- Amelia, Reading Results Tutor

“I am well versed in the evidence base for high dosage tutoring, and the community need, and I deeply appreciate the fact that Reading Results has been doing this work locally for years, even before “science of reading” became the latest buzz word.”
