In Read to a Child's Read Aloud Mentoring Program, an adult is partnered one-on-one with a student attending one of our partner elementary schools for a rewarding, weekly read aloud experience. The Read Aloud Mentoring program expertly combines the benefits of mentorship and read aloud to improve children's literacy skills. The relationship lasts for the entire school year and often extends for multiple years until the child graduates the program at the end of fourth grade. Our program is offered at no cost to our partner schools and our staff ensures we do not impose on school’s limited resources. Last year, our student assessments showed that 88% of students in Miami improved in their reading progress, 79% in their vocabulary development, and 94% benefited from the one-on-one mentoring.

Read to a Child runs our Read Aloud Mentoring Program in 2 schools in Miami: Pine Lake Elementary and Downtown Miami Charter. The donation you make today ensures our continued work in these schools, with more children added to the program! The simple act of reading aloud to a child once a week, over time, can have a profound impact on the child's future--give to Read to a Child this Give Miami Day and know your dollars are making an immediate, local impact on children!

Read to a Child's mission is to foster a love of reading, improve literacy skills and support socio-emotional well-being in students from under-resourced communities.
