Our Programs
One-on-one and group literacy tutoring for adults, children, and even the whole family.
Project READ offers literacy and educational programming for everyone — adults looking to improve their career prospects or their English, young children and teens who need help succeeding in school, and families interested in learning together. Our expert staff assesses each learner and develops an individualized tutoring plan, drawing on a wide range of successful methods and materials.

Adult Literacy
Project READ offers one-on-one and small group tutoring to Redwood City residents who read and/or write below the 7th grade reading level. Project READ helps members of our community, including those in local residential treatment programs, improve their literacy and life skills. Literacy tutoring is tailored to the learner, and can assist with goals such as improving job-searching skills, GED certification, obtaining citizenship, or helping their children with homework and reading.

Youth Programs
Project READ’s youth services include tutoring for K-12 students most in need, as well as an early intervention program for small children in which parents and children work together to build literacy skills. Our innovative Kids in Partnership dual-intervention tutoring program matches high-school students with elementary schoolers and helps both build literacy skills and self-confidence.
All Project READ youth programs feature an evidence-based curriculum that’s developmentally and culturally appropriate for each learner, along with support from staff, expert learning specialists, and tutors. We embrace a variety of learning styles, incorporating social/emotional learning, STEAM activities, and hands-on learning.
We work closely with schools as an active participant in a holistic approach to learning, sharing information and tailoring our instruction to each child’s needs.

Family Literacy Program
(includes parent and child tutoring)
When families learn together, everyone benefits. Family literacy encourages a lifelong love of learning and strengthens relationships. Tutors help parents improve their reading skills and help their children develop oral and written language and reading skills.
At our Family Literacy Instructional Center (FLIC), families work together to improve literacy skills through reading, game play, technology, and art. Weekend family workshops, monthly Story Hours, and our weekly Book Club give families lots of opportunities to immerse themselves in reading together, and offer parenting resources along with free books to build home libraries.
