About ReadBoston ReadBoston was founded by Mayor Thomas Menino and other city leaders in 1995 as a non-profit children's literacy organization with an ambitious goal: to ensure that every child in Boston can read at grade level by the end of the third grade. ReadBoston has focused on that mission to become a catalyst for change in all of Boston's communities by funneling resources, innovative programs, books, and best practices into Boston neighborhoods, and forming partnerships with organizations committed to helping children. Reaching our goal of having all children in Boston reading at grade level by the end of third grade involves a multifaceted approach, creating interventions that address the core of why kids cannot read. This can only be achieved by offering multiple literacy interventions and through collaborations with the organizations that serve kids in Boston. Our goal is to build the capacity of the teachers, parents and other educators and to provide them with the training and the resources they need to provide strong literacy instruction to children. ReadBoston consists of several literacy-rich programs for children from birth through age eight. Our programs reach children in school, after school, during summer vacation, and before they are old enough to attend school. These programs serve children in all of Boston's neighborhoods. Other initiatives, such as our work with Reading is Fundamental, represent partnerships of a national scale.
