Erie Neighborhood House Little Village READS

Since 1870, Erie Neighborhood House has provided the most comprehensive support immigrant and low-income families in Chicago need to thrive and has constantly evolved to meet their needs. Today, Erie House is a modern social services nonprofit with programming and resources for children & youth, mental health & community wellness, adult education & training, legal services, and more. Through these programs, we empower the people we work alongside to build powerful communities.

Little Village READS is a Erie House's literacy initiative that pairs reading tutors with 1st through 3rd grade students in our Community. All our students have been referred by their teachers for extra support outside the classroom, and they meet with tutors to work on building their reading skills, vocabulary, and confidence. Tutors engage students in free reading, interactive games, and fun literacy activities.
