Home to struggling readers and those who are passionate about helping them.
Every Student deserves the right to read.
The Need to Read is a non-profit organization helping to change lives. We believe there isn’t a one size fits all reading curriculum- There should be options available to every teacher, tutor, parent and student. The Need To Read utilizes the Stevenson Reading Program because it works for a wide variety of students.
“I did not learn to read in school and was illiterate with extreme learning shame. At thirty-two, I dared to learn to read because of the Stevenson Reading Program. Today, I tutor many children with the same program, and they learn to read! That's how powerful this program is.”
- Lisa Holmes
Student Success Story
Another Student Success Story
“I started tutoring Imran when he was 12 years old. He had received several years of intensive reading interventions, yet still could not read. Imran had completely given up.
Fast Forward- Imran successfully completed all three levels of the Stevenson Reading program and now reads independently as an adult. Imran is now a super star reader and is on his way to achieving his dream of becoming a voice actor! Listen to Imran read from a script.”
