ReadWorks April 2026 Update

4/30/2026

This month, we are introducing a new way to support students receiving special education services, helping families prevent summer slide, and sharing why donors believe in and support our work! Thank you for partnering with ReadWorks to provide free teacher instruction that builds the knowledge and vocabulary that drive students’ reading comprehension.

New Resource for Special Education Teachers
Ensuring every student has individualized support is the core of Special Education. ReadWorks provides evidence-based reading interventions needed to meet diverse goals for special education reading comprehension.

We are thrilled to share a free one-pager, organizing all of our resources designed for students with disabilities and ideas to help students reach their educational goals.

Why I Give to ReadWorks
Share why you believe in keeping high-quality reading resources free for every educator and student, and we will send you a small gift to help you champion the cause. Email us at: [email protected].

We are proud to be supported by nearly 10,000 donors whose gifts of all sizes make this work possible. Below, you can hear directly from two of our donors about why they support ReadWorks:

"It is an honor to support you. Our 9-year-old son has benefited from ReadWorks a lot since the 1st grade [now 4th grade] and he does a great job in reading because of ReadWorks."

"I am writing to share the heart behind my support for your mission. As a business owner, tutor, and teacher, my commitment to education is driven by my work. My motivation to give comes from seeing how ReadWorks directly makes an impact:

By providing accessible, high-quality texts, you help students overcome the fear of the page and build the "I can" spirit necessary for growth
Your research-based tools ensure students aren't just getting by—they are becoming truly skilled, high-level readers.
ReadWorks allows students to capitalize on their inherent potential by removing the financial barriers to elite-level resources.
You give students the language and tools they need to articulate their ideas and find their voice in the world.

As a believer in the power of education and equity, I see ReadWorks as a vital partner to the work I do with my own students. I am honored to support your efforts."
