Read Better Be Better is a non-profit organization based in Phoenix, AZ, dedicated to connecting young readers and youth leaders to foster a love for literacy and learning. Founded in 2014, the organization aims to address Arizona's literacy crisis by providing reading intervention programs that empower students to improve their reading skills and transition from learning to read to reading to learn. With a vision of creating empowered communities with equitable access to foundational skills, Read Better Be Better partners with schools and impacts over 13,000 students across 99 schools. Through their unique after-school program, young readers are paired with youth leaders, resulting in improved reading comprehension, confidence, enjoyment of reading, leadership abilities, and critical thinking skills. The organization's impact data shows that students who participate in the program have a higher chance of graduating from high school, regardless of their socio-economic status.Generated from the website
