Team Read believes all kids deserve to be great readers and teens should have access to a meaningful, paid first job. We work to close education opportunity gaps through a unique cross-age, one-on-one tutoring program after school and during the summer. Our dual-impact model helps young students to become confident readers equipped for academic success, and teens to develop work and life skills that support their transition to college and future employment.

Anne Wang-Annanie began her Team Read journey as a student reader at Northgate Elementary. She grew up speaking Chinese and Korean at home and had to learn English at school. “Receiving the extra reading support from Team Read was absolutely a positive experience that helped me build my future,” she says. Anne returned to the program as a reading coach at Olympic Hills Elementary in 2006, and then worked as Team Read’s summer program coordinator in 2016. She now teaches middle school science – and fully recognizes that fluent reading is key to her students’ success.
