Reading Partners empowers community volunteers to provide one-on-one reading instruction to elementary school students reading below grade level to help them succeed in reading and in life.
We are a national education nonprofit working with Title I elementary schools to support students who are reading six months to two-and-a-half years below grade level. Reading Partners recruits and trains more than 15,000 community volunteers, annually, to deliver a highly effective, research-validated curriculum.
GOING TO SCALE
• Reading Partners received a highly competitive growth investment from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation and the Social Innovation Fund. Reading Partners is also managing a second Social Innovation Fund sub-grant supported by Mile High United Way in Colorado.
• This investment helped Reading Partners grow from a few schools in California to over 160 schools
across eight states and the District of Columbia. Throughout this growth, our student outcomes have remained consistently strong.
NATIONAL SERVICE
Reading Partners is a proud partner with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Our reading centers and outreach efforts are powered by 220 dedicated AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers, now outnumbering our full time staff.
OUR IMPACT
Reading Partners is dedicated to ensuring that each student gains the critical reading skills they need to prepare them for academic, social, and civic success. That’s why monitoring and evaluation are core to the Reading Partners model.

From the first hello of the day, to the last good-bye, we want every child to feel safe, nurtured, and excited to learn and grow with us, and for you to consider Lightbridge Academy a true partner in the development and education of your child.
It all begins with our Circle of Care philosophy, which empowers staff members, franchise owners, and even vendors to go beyond what’s expected, creating a one-of-a-kind educational experience for the children we care for and the families who cherish them.
By gaining your trust and always making decisions with your child’s health and happiness in mind, we continually strive to be the complete and total solution for hardworking families — just like you.
Lightbridge Academy provides a solid curriculum for children ages six weeks old to Pre-School and offers extended hours, optional meal plans and summer camp programs. Innovative technology helps parents stay connected to their child throughout the day through our ParentView® Internet monitoring system, allowing parents access to view their child’s classroom at any point in the day via an encrypted, web based system, and our parent eCommunication app, which tracks a child’s daily achievements and allows teachers to send parent’s daily reports, reminders, photos and even video clips.
We welcome the opportunity to partner with you as you navigate through these precious years of life.
