We Believe in the Force for Good and the Power of Reading!
Help teach a child to read. change a life.
Our community’s success depends on our children’s success. Helping students learn to read is a community commitment to closing the achievement gap.
We are Reading Warriors, an army of volunteers in the public schools in Forsyth County, tutoring children who are below grade level in their reading skills. Did you know that currently about half of the third graders in Forsyth County schools are struggling with reading? We’re determined to change this by working one-on-one with kindergarten and first grade students to help them become successful readers.

Become a reading warriors volunteer.
Our curriculum is rigorous, but it’s designed to solidify the foundational reading skills the children we serve are missing. We support the instruction teachers are providing in the classroom. The curriculum is based on phonics and is systematic, targeted, and efficient which means the time with your student is effective and well spent.
Your work is a tremendous gift to these kids. But let’s face it, we enrich our own lives through the relationships we build with the children. Tutoring sessions will become a highlight of your week!
