About Us

Equipping students for success through the power of reading.

Readers 2 Leaders is a Dallas-based nonprofit working to create stronger readers by supporting children and the adults who help them learn. We provide high-quality literacy instruction directly to students while equipping families, educators, and community partners with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to support children’s reading development.

We know that no single organization can address the literacy challenges in our community alone. By strengthening literacy instruction and building the capacity of the adults and organizations surrounding children, we work to expand access to effective reading support and create more opportunities for children to thrive as readers and leaders.
