Literacy Connects is a local organization that works to build reading skills for young children. They’re in major need of a couple hundred volunteers for their Reading Seed program.
Reading Seed is a program that pushes kids to not only view reading as an enjoyable experience, but also helps create a healthy relationship with books. The program works with about 800 students each school year.Each coach is paired with three students in kindergarten through second grade. During the school year, they spend thirty minutes with each student reading and going over literacy-related materials the students find interesting.
Data from The National Literacy Institute shows 54% of adults have a literacy below sixth-grade level, making programs like Reading Seed so important to our youth as they’re in the early stages of their education. Students are encouraged to read anything they find interesting because reading doesn’t always mean cover-to-cover. It can be as simple as reading a whiteboard or a traffic sign.
