Reading Partners believes in the power of reading to spark learning, curiosity, empathy, and critical thinking that will ultimately empower students in all walks of life.
Since 2012, Reading Partners North Texas has served over 8,500 students, ensuring students have the skills necessary to be successful while simultaneously laying the groundwork for the future vibrancy of our community.
With the help of community volunteer tutors, we use a robust curriculum to provide students with one-to-one, 45-minute sessions twice per week across 21 Dallas-Fort Worth schools. We all work together to support students not only through individualized tutoring, but also through family engagement practices, school literacy nights, and more!
Reading Partners' mission is to help children become lifelong readers by empowering community volunteers to provide individualized instruction that produces measurable results. Our vision is that all children will have the literacy skills they need to reach their full potential.
Children have big dreams for their futures.
We have big dreams, too. We envision a world where all children have strong literacy foundations and are empowered to pursue their dreams. But we can’t do it alone.

We believe in the power of educational equity to interrupt systemic racism, poverty, and social inequality. To support our students’ development of lifelong literacy skills, Reading Partners is committed to building a culturally competent and representative team to advance social justice through our service in schools and communities.
As an organization that serves predominantly under-resourced communities and 90%+ children of color, the very reason Reading Partners exists and has to provide the services it does is due to deeply rooted systemic racial and social inequity. Educational equity for all is our North Star. As we partner with schools, students, and communities, our role is to identify areas where inequity and injustice occur, and disrupt those areas - paving a way forward for a more equitable future. We believe in the power of educational equity to interrupt systemic racism, poverty, and social inequality. We condemn the systemic racism that is deeply rooted in our nation’s education system and view our work through an anti-racist lens.
