Letter From The ED

It is hard to believe that another school year has come to an end. The end of the year is such an exciting time for all of us. As students complete end-of-year assessments, we get to see the amazing progress that they have made since entering YES Reading. We get to read the heartfelt thank you notes that students write to their tutors.

Reading Strategy: "Choosing Vocabulary Words"

When teaching students vocabulary, focus on words that are either interesting to the child or will be very useful in daily life. There are many words that come up in books that will be unfamiliar to your students. Pick your battles...

YES Reading is Growing!


Next fall, YES Reading will once again expand our organization and our impact with the launch of two new reading centers! The success of our existing programs, combined with the immense need for additional reading support in many of our local public schools, has driven our continued expansion.

YES Reading´s new partner school sites will be College Park Elementary, located in the San Mateo-Foster City Unified School District, and Montague Elementary, part of the Santa Clara Unified School District. Both of these schools are Kindergarten-5th grade campuses, and the majority of students at both schools are currently not reading proficiently at grade level. Yet the leadership and staff at both schools are committed to the success of their students and are eager and excited to partner with YES Reading to increase students´ reading achievement.

YES Reading´s program will launch at both College Park and Montague in September. We are currently recruiting tutors to volunteer at either of these new sites. Tutoring at both sites will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. To sign up as a volunteer, click here or call (650) 326-0996.
