Little Kangaroo Reads
Little Kangaroo Reads is a nonprofit organization that was created to provide reading instruction to kids who struggle in reading.
Our vision is a community where children —no matter their background— receive reading instruction they need to thrive in school and beyond.
Our mission is to provide individualized reading instruction to children who find reading a challenge.

Step 3. Review results
We will schedule a time to review the assessment results either by phone, virtually, or in person.
