Houston Real Men Read is chaired by Texas Senator Rodney Ellis and spearheaded by the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Board Trustee Paula M. Harris. Houston Real Men Read is a mentoring program in which men from the Houston community committed one hour, once a month, to read to second, fifth, and seventh-grade students. The program reinforced three fundamental principles: reading is fun, the community cares, and a commitment to education can ensure success. An estimated 200 mentors were assigned to 48 participating schools. This brief was designed to summarize the results from the Houston Real Men Read mentor survey. Responses indicated that overall mentors enjoyed participating in the program. Also, the reading performance of participating schools was higher than the district at second and seventh grades.
