READING PARTNERS SACRAMENTO SEEKS 600 VOLUNTEERS

The early literacy nonprofit looks for more community tutors in 2017-18

(Sacramento, CA)聽September 7, 2017聽— 成人快播 is seeking 600 community volunteers to advance early literacy in the Sacramento region. A national nonprofit organization, 成人快播 collaborates with community volunteers and local public schools to provide students in under-resourced schools with the proven, individualized reading intervention they need to read at grade level by fourth grade. 成人快播 collaborates with teachers and principals at local public elementary schools to identify students reading behind grade level and provide them with personalized literacy instruction in a dedicated 鈥渞eading center鈥� space at their school.

Calling all volunteers for the 2017-18 school year

Nationwide, only one in five low-income students is reading proficiently by the fourth grade. Tragically, this translates into nearly nine million low-income elementary school students who are unable to use reading as a foundational skill to power their learning in all other subjects in school. Reading is, quite simply, a necessary platform for all future learning. Without developing the reading skills needed to read on grade level, kids don鈥檛 have an equitable chance to succeed in school or in life. Students who can鈥檛 read by fourth grade are four times more likely to drop out of school or not earn a high school diploma.

In the 2017-18 school year, 成人快播 aims to match over 600 community tutors with 400 struggling readers in Sacramento. By tutoring a student one-on-one for as little as an hour a week, volunteers can make an impact that can quite literally alter the course of a child鈥檚 educational experience and life.

鈥淏eing a reading partner is, by far, the best volunteer experience you can find in Sacramento,鈥� said Rachel Minnick, executive director of 成人快播 Sacramento. 鈥淭he reading skills you teach your student are important, but it鈥檚 even bigger than that – it鈥檚 about being engaged in your community in one of the most meaningful ways possible. Plus, it鈥檚 just fun!鈥�

2016-17 school year results were strong

鈥淚 am so proud of the Sacramento students in our program. They worked incredibly hard to make progress toward reading proficiency with the support of their caring reading partners,鈥� said executive director, Rachel Minnick. 鈥淲e are energized to continue to share and support the vision of local school leaders who want to build a culture of reading at their schools.鈥�
