Read Better Be Better is a nonprofit organization in Phoenix founded by Sophie Allen-Etchart in 2014. Dedicated to tackling Arizona's literacy crisis, the organization strives to connect young readers and youth leaders, fostering a love for literacy and learning. By offering after-school and at-home programs for 2nd to 4th-grade students, Read Better Be Better pairs them with middle to high school leaders.

These leaders enhance their leadership skills while helping improve the literacy skills of their young readers. Through ongoing training and support from program coaches, the participants work together to enhance concentration, reading comprehension, and the joy of reading. Since its inception, Read Better Be Better has impacted over 7,500 students across Maricopa and Pinal counties.
