Children's Literacy

Free tutoring for children
reading below grade level.

We match each child with one volunteer tutor. Sessions are free, one-to-one, and built around phonics, fluency, and books the child can actually finish.

Talking about the book so meaning stays with the child.

Our work

Reading is a right, not a paid extra.

Children's Literacy exists for kids who have fallen behind. We do not sell workbooks. We give free, one-to-one time with a tutor who stays with the same child week after week.

01
One-to-one

No groups. The tutor hears every word the child reads.

02
Below grade level

We start where the child is — not where the textbook says they should be.

03
Always free

Volunteer tutors. No invoice for families. Books stay in the child's hands.

The library

Every child deserves a book they can finish.

Children's Literacy keeps a shelf of leveled readers and a roster of volunteer tutors. When a child is reading below grade level, we do not wait for a paid program — we book a free one-to-one hour. Reach us at [email protected].

How it works

Three steps from a note to a first book.

01 · Tell us

Share the child's grade

A short note is enough. We ask what reading feels like at school and at home.

02 · Match

Meet one tutor

The same volunteer each week. Sessions stay one-to-one and free.

03 · Read

Books at the right level

Phonics, fluency, then stories the child can finish and talk about.
