Team Read is a program of the National
Children’s Reading Foundation that has
provided one-on-one reading tutoring to
select elementary schools in the Kennewick
School District since 2000. Kennewick
School District is committed to having its
students learn to read early and well. In
1995, the school board and superintendent
implemented a goal in the district’s
Strategic Plan that called for having at
least 90 percent of all third grade
students reading at or above grade level.
This goal was met in 2006.
