2020 Volunteer Training Sessions are Here!

Looking for a unique and impactful way to make a difference right here in our WNC community?
How about transforming a child's life by helping them learn to read at grade level. Closing the literacy
achievement gap not only propels a student to success in school, but success in life too.
​Consider becoming a reading tutor with Read to Succeed Asheville/Buncombe today! 

Want to change a life?
Our trained volunteers help Asheville and Buncombe elementary school students learn to read.

Each student's goal is to read at grade level by the end of third grade.

Why is this important?
Many children are already behind in reading when they begin school.

They are below grade level when they enter kindergarten.

Students who fail to read at grade level by third grade are 4X more likely to drop out  than students who can read.

You're at the right place.
R2S trains motivated volunteers to help children in K through 3rd grades learn to read.

After completing training, each volunteer is matched with a student.

They meet during the school day, once or twice a week, working on handwriting, reading and spelling, using a phonics-based, multi-sensory approach.
