About Ready Reader


We are a non-profit, based in Victoria, taking high-achieving and passionate university students studying to become teachers (also known as pre-service teachers or PST's), training them, and then matching them with early years classrooms (Prep to Grade 2) to help children learn to read through one-on-one sessions.


Our mission is simple; to close the literacy gap for five to seven year olds across Australia who read below grade level.

The evidence of studies shows this love of reading leads to increased levels of literacy proficiency for years following.
