Read Ahead at RBS

PS 125 has partnered since 1998 with Read Ahead, a nonprofit with the vision that students have the opportunity to unlock their full potential through mentoring relationships based on a love of reading. All RBS grade 1-5 students are invited & encouraged to join Read Ahead’s 2020-21 virtual reading-based mentoring program! Visit www.readahead.org/family-info for details & to fill out the required permission form--we need forms ASAP to ensure there’s a spot for your child! 

Read Ahead matches mentors from premier corporate partners with students at public elementary schools. Trained and screened mentors provide individualized attention, support, and role modeling throughout the school year. For 2020-21, students and mentors will meet virtually through a secure video platform for their weekly 45-minute sessions. Sessions include group activities with other students and mentors, and one-on-one reading, discussion, games, and guided reading lessons using BookNook, a fun and interactive online reading program!
