READ 718 is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit organization dedicated to closing the literacy gap in Brooklyn and ensuring educational access and equity for all children in the community. Their mission is to build strong and confident readers, with the immediate goal of helping participants read at or above grade level and the ultimate goal of making a substantial impact on their lifelong education and life outcomes by strengthening their fundamental reading skills.
They offer a range of programs, including the READ 718 After School program for children in grades 3-8 who are reading below grade level, the READ 718 Remote program that provides instruction on Zoom, and the Saturday READing Room for 1st and 2nd graders who need reading support. They also have summer programs, such as the Summer READing Room, Rising READers, and Word Up, which focus on practicing reading skills, preventing summer slide, and providing phonics instruction. Additionally, READ 718 offers workshops led by education experts that cover various topics and are open to all members of the community.
