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 students become proficient readers. We are the distributor of the Stevenson Reading Program because it works for a wide variety of students.
Using mnemonics to connect memory and learning, the Stevenson Reading Program is multi-sensory, explicit, systematic and easy to implement for teachers and tutors.
Student Success Story
“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
Another Student Success Story
“I started tutoring Imran in reading 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.”
