We have a literacy challenge in the Durham community and across NC. Across the state, schools are addressing the impact of the new Read
to Achieve Law, which requires 3rd graders who are not reading on
grade level to attend summer reading camps and face being retained. This
will impact around 900 third grade students in Durham. We want to address
literacy for our elementary students this summer and throughout the
school year. Your help is needed!
Adults and Youth volunteers,
including parents and middle and high school students, who are interested in
helping kids with reading either in the schools or community are invited to
attend.
DPS is encouraging church and community tutoring, after
school, summer, mentoring, preschool, and other programs to send your
volunteers to get this FREE training that groups can use with the kids they already
serve.
There is room for at least 500 attendees, so you can bring your friends, youth, all your volunteers or whole
staff. Every attendee will receive training in at least 3 of the Big 6
skills that we can all use to help our K-3 readers (and older PreKs too).
Please see the attached flyers in English and Spanish and distribute them
widely and invite others you know. You can use what you learn in the
community work or volunteer to be a summer reader for the DPS reading camps or
anytime throughout the ear.
Registration is requested, but
not required. Breakfast, Lunch, and childcare are offered. Spanish
Translation is available.
REGISTER online at http://www.dpsnc.net/programs-services/academics/literacysummit.
Please spread the word.
This is NOT an “all talk, no action” summit. WE are the action and
our kids and schools need us to be there. We will be there, hope to see you on May 3rd!
