About Us
Equipping students for success through the power of reading
Readers 2 Leaders is a Dallas-based nonprofit that provides literacy tutoring in classrooms, after school and at our Booktown Learning Center. Because no single organization can stem the literacy crisis in our community alone, we also provide coaching, consulting, and education opportunities to others leading children to literacy. Through tutoring and coaching, we aim to give all Dallas students equitable opportunities to thrive as readers and leaders.
In the 2023-2024 school year, Readers 2 Leaders will serve over 1,500 students and 300 adults. Through our coaching program, we extend our impact to hundreds more as participants bring new knowledge and tools into their communities. Here’s how:
