Team Read

Team Read is a year-round reading tutoring and youth employment and development program that pairs carefully trained 8th-12th grade paid teen reading coaches with teacher-identified 2nd-4th grade readers who would benefit from one-on-one reading tutoring and mentoring support. Our model has dual intention and impactteen reading coaches gain critical life and work skills and their 2nd-4th grade students become better, more confident readers. Current service areas are in the high-poverty schools within Seattle, Highline, Tukwila, and Renton school districts. During the 2022-23 school year, we enrolled 494 readers who were tutored by 393 teen reading coaches.
