Small Commitments. Big Possibilities.
What if schools could create more opportunities for reading using something they already have—their own students?
Kinetic brings older and younger students together for a simple weekly reading practice, embedded in the school day.
No new curriculum. No complicated intervention. Just students showing up for one another, week after week.
Show up. Read together.
How Kinetic Works
30 minutes a week.
Older students visit younger classrooms to read together during the school day.
Books that fit.
Schools use age-appropriate, science-of-reading-aligned materials that complement existing instruction.
Relationships that grow.
Students return each week, building confidence, connection, and a sense of responsibility.
We improve together.
Teachers and school leaders help us learn what works, what doesn't, and how to make the experience better.
Where We’ve Begun
Kinetic launched in Connecticut in October 2026, bringing together 125 students across our first school communities.

These founding schools are helping us understand how a simple idea can work across different communities, schedules, and school environments.
Bring Kinetic to your school
We're looking for school leaders who believe in the power of students helping students—and who are curious about what reading together could make possible.
You don't need a perfect plan to get started. Just a willingness to explore the idea together.
