A San Diego non-profit is working to improve literacy countywide. ABC 10News speaks with those involved about a new creative program offered for kids.
SAN DIEGO — If you visit the New Children’s Museum downtown, you’ll find dozens of self-portraits carefully crafted by students across San Diego.
Words Alive is a non-profit aiming to improve literacy by making reading fun, engaging and accessible for students countywide. The non-profit estimates that half of the students in San Diego county are not reading at the expected grade level. “If families are having a hard time meeting their own basic needs, it’s going to be extremely difficult for them to have engaging, enjoyable experiences around learning and reading,” said Cooper.
