Helping Kids Succeed
The YMCA’s literacy program (Y-Literacy) helps struggling readers in grades K-4 gain confidence by increasing their reading comprehension and literacy skills.
We offer free one-on-one tutoring to students who are reading below their grade level. Our curriculum covers all of the essential components of literacy: phonics, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary and writing.
Through our team of volunteer tutors:
- Y-Literacy serves hundreds of children in the Nashville area
- 87% of whom have increased their reading level through the program
- On average, 1000 books are also distributed throughout the community each year
