Ravenswood Reads
Ravenswood Reads
connects Stanford students with elementary-age schoolchildren in
meaningful one-on-one interactions that help develop language and
literacy skills. As a unique partnership among the Haas Center for Public Service, Stanford University School of Education (SUSE), and the Ravenswood City School District (RCSD), the program focuses on providing a service to
schools in East Palo Alto and creating a learning experience for Stanford students.
Ravenswood Reads supports readers in kindergarten through third grade by pairing Stanford tutors with children to help improve their decoding and comprehension skills. Ravenswood Reads is also a service-learning program that emphasizes the importance of adequately preparing and supporting volunteers on an ongoing basis. As a volunteer with the Ravenswood Reads Program, you will:
- develop lasting relationships with children
- learn strategies for assisting struggling readers
- participate in a service project and contribute to the local community
