GAINING RECOGITION: Albuquerque Reads spotlighted in New Mexico Educational Retirement Board newsletter

Albuquerque Reads continues to get noticed.

To end 2024, the Chamber’s literacy program was featured in the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board’s newsletter, called ERB Connect.

Albuquerque Public Schools site coordinators have been hard at work creating engaging lessons and a comfortable community environment for our students and tutors to excel in while building reading skills.

ABQ Reads is a classroom-based tutoring program that helps struggling kindergarten and first-grade readers boost their literacy achievement to enable lifelong learning.

Program Fast Facts:

  • A one-on-one literacy tutoring program at three elementary schools: Whittier, Atrisco and Bel-Air.
  • Delivers 90 minutes each week of personalized literacy tutoring for each kindergarten-first-grade Title I student in the program (Sept – May) and supplies every student it serves with up to 20 books for their at-home library.
  • Access to online reading resources for at-home reading

The program is always looking for tutors, so it can serve more students and continue to grow.
