READ UP! WRITE ON! LITERACY RULES!

Literacy is the foundation to success. National statistics show literacy proficiency declines as children advance to higher grades. Illiteracy increases the likelihood of becoming a high school dropout, entering the juvenile system, and unemployment.

Children in our literacy programs will share the experience of being an author or illustrator in a supportive environment and discover the joy of writing. They will learn what it takes to become a published author, all while improving not only their reading and writing skills, but vocabulary, math, collaborative learning, and organizational skills. And, they will experience a sense of pride and accomplishment.  See List of Schools visited.
