Our mission is to develop and grow the reading skills of underserved Dallas children ages 3-12 so that they succeed in school and graduate prepared to live productive lives.
Readers 2 Leaders is a literacy program that serves Dallas kindergarten and elementary students. We recognize that students who don't read on grade level by third grade are four times less likely to graduate high school, and low-income students are six times less likely — so we help them beat the odds. Readers 2 Leaders operates Booktown, home of our After-School Program, summer camp, lending library, special events, and parent education programs. We also provide in-school reading tutoring at six school sites throughout Dallas and a second After-School Program at a West Dallas charter school.
