TESTIMONIALS:
"Today (11/24/24) is my 76th birthday and I am so grateful I've made it through this point in time and I am ever thankful to you for offering these amazing literacy programs so that I can have purpose and get to be with wonderful unique children every week." Joanne Dalton
“The Reading Buddy Program has the potential to change the world one reading buddy pair at a time.”– Kathy Bruce
“Thanks for all you do for Denver’s children and its retirees. We all benefit from reading together.” Sally Ortiz
“I have now experienced what teachers hope for and become teachers for. These two boys have become readers”– Patrick Caldwell
“I have been a reading volunteer for eight years. While most of the years I’ve read with a child in the elementary grades, I ‘ve also read with middle schoolers for three years. There are many reasons why I love reading with these students. It’s such a unique opportunity to get to know a group of kids through reading. Because there are only a few of us, were able to have rich, deep discussion about our books and our discussions often lead to situations in the real world.”– Shere Dayney
"This was such a great experience, and I'm so glad our students were able to participate. Being in such a rural location can feel isolating, so it was wonderful for our students to be able to meet and collaborate with others around the state" Katherine Freeman
Partners in Literacy is dedicated to creating communities of readers in schools. Our secret power is coaching volunteers to meet their reading "buddies" where they are. Through strong relationships and carefully chosen books, we boost school cultures so that every child can become a reader.
Partners in Literacy is a grassroots nonprofit founded in 2011. We accomplish our mission by coordinating reading volunteers to read one-on-one or in small groups in grades kindergarten through eighth grade.
We also umbrella the Colorado Blue Spruce Young Adult Book Award. Mentor-guided preteens and teens book groups from all over Colorado both nominate and vote for the Young Adult book that will win the award.
