I’m Keira Anderson.

I’m fundraising for 2024 Giving Tuesday Fellow Fundraiser (Reading Assist).

Reading Assist supports struggling readers in grades K-3 throughout Delaware and D.C. This year, we are hoping to raise $35,000 in honor of Reading Assist's 35th anniversary! Your fundraising efforts will help us purchase much-needed items that fellows use in the classroom every day!
  • $25 can purchase 4 whiteboards for student lessons
  • $50 covers the cost of grapheme sound decks for 20 tutors
  • $100 will purchase student workbooks for 10 students
  • $250 can buy one iPad for a tutor to conduct weekly reading assessments

About Reading Assist

Mission: Reading Assist provides intensive services for young, at-risk children with the most significant reading challenges so that they achieve reading progress and proficiency.

This year, Reading Assist is providing high-dosage tutoring to more than 1,700 struggling readers!

Reading Assist works in partnership with schools to identify and serve children in grades K-3 who are in the lowest 25% for reading proficiency.

We recruit, train, and embed AmeriCorps members, known as Reading Assist Fellows, to provide our accredited, high-dosage tutoring program to students during the school day. We provide additional support to students through summer and after-school programs.

Your support will help us purchase much-needed items for our program:

  • $25 can purchase 4 white boards for student lessons
  • $50 covers the cost of grapheme sound decks for 20 tutors
  • $100 will purchase student workbooks for 10 students
  • $250 can buy one iPad for a tutor to conduct weekly reading assessments
