Houston Real Men Read, chaired by Texas District XIII Senator Rodney Ellis and spearheaded by Houston Independent School District (HISD) IV Board Trustee Paula M. Harris, is a mentoring program in which men from the Houston community committed one hour of their time, once a month, to read to second, fifth, and seventh-grade students. The reading dates were November 15 and December 20, 2012, as well as January 17, February 21, and May 16, 2013. This program reinforced three fundamental principles: reading is fun, the community cares, and a commitment to education can ensure success. An estimated 318 mentors were assigned to 47 participating schools. This brief was designed to summarize the results from the Houston Real Men Read mentor and student surveys. Responses indicated that overall mentors and students enjoyed participating in the program. The responses of mentors and students also indicated that the book selection could be improved. Program personnel may want to consider the types of books that students indicated they liked reading the most in the book selection process for the upcoming school year.
