Help Build Great Readers!
Description
Become Part of a Child's Success and Help Combat the Privilege Gap
Developing strong readers requires instruction, practice, and the opportunity to hear wonderful stories read aloud every day. Our trained tutors provide instruction, but we need your help to support all the other essential activities that build solid readers, students, community members, and future leaders. You will provide the interactions and supports that most impact the equity-based achievement gap!!!
