The REACH Parent District connects your family to high-quality virtual reading support beyond the school day — plus a Family Success Coach who helps you understand your child’s progress, build a learning routine, and get the most out of their support.
REACH Parent District has created a habit and routine of reading and engagement that has been essential in my child's reading intervention journey. I have been more empowered than ever in her progress monitoring because I hear her reading and how it has developed."

How The REACH Parent District Works
Many children need more individualized reading practice than the school day can provide. The REACH Parent District gives your child high-quality virtual reading support—and gives you a Family Success Coach to help turn that support into progress.
1. Your child gets reading support
Your child practices reading from home, after school, on weekends, and during school breaks.
2. You get a Family Success Coach
Your coach helps you understand your child’s progress, work through barriers, and know how to support their learning.
3. Together, you build a routine
You choose a weekly learning commitment that works for your family. We help you stay consistent, adjust when needed, and celebrate your child’s progress.
The REACH Parent District helps you build learning habits that last.
We choose learning tools with families, not just for families.
There are a lot of academic programs out there. We want families to have access to ones that are high-quality and work in real life.
REACH reviews academic tools and tutoring partners for student needs, evidence of impact, ease of use, data privacy, learning experience, and family feedback.
And families help us test promising providers.
That means we consider not only what looks promising on paper, but what families find useful, engaging, and valuable for their children.
You don't have to figure everything out on Day One.
We help you build your family's learning routine step by step.
Get started
Enroll your child, choose your family's reading goal, and complete your first tutoring sessions. Your Family Success Coach will help you get going.
Build your routine
Find a time and rhythm that works for your household. Your coach will help you stay on track toward your goal and adjust it as you build momentum.
Keep going—and celebrate progress
See how your child is progressing, work through barriers when they come up, and celebrate the wins along the way—including gift cards for hitting your reading goals
The more you learn about your child's progress, the more information and confidence you have to make decisions about what they need.
