Program Overview
To help children from low-income families read on grade level by third grade.
In partnership with the School District of Palm Beach County, volunteers are recruited and trained to provide tutoring in reading comprehension in selected 1st and 2nd grade classrooms within the School District. The goal is to have each student 50% closer to grade level at the end of the year than when they began the year. The 30 minute sessions have been designed by School District staff to supplement reading taught in the classroom.
There is also an afterschool component, free, conducted at the Literacy Coalition for students in grades 1 through 3. Tutors meet with their students for 60 minutes once a week during the school year and during the summer.
