Learning happens one connection at a time. 📚✨

Our tutors are more than instructors. They’re encouragers, listeners, and champions for every child who walks through our doors. Whether it’s sounding out new words, building confidence, or celebrating a breakthrough moment, these small interactions create lasting impact.

Thank you to the volunteers, families, and students who make READ 718 a place where literacy and community grow together. ❤️

Currently on our nightstands and in our tote bags 📚✨

One thing about the team at READ 718, we’re always reading. From reflective nonfiction to page-turning fiction to books that help us grow as educators, every story shapes the way we show up for our students and each other.

Two days until we gather in celebration of literacy, community, and the students at the heart of READ 718. 💛

Last year’s benefit reminded us what’s possible when people come together to invest in young readers; every conversation, donation, volunteer hour, and shared belief matters.

In 2 days, we do it again. 📚✨

Behind every data point is a relationship and behind every relationship is a tutor showing up with care, patience, and belief.
