Seeking local volunteers for the 2019-20 school year听

One hour can empower! In the 2019-20 school year, 成人快播 aims to match 750 community volunteers with 600 elementary students struggling to read in Baltimore. 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.

[My student shared] that he really liked reading now. I attribute this [not only] to the Reading Partner curriculum but also to the special one-on-one tutoring time that affords the students an opportunity to be heard and to know that someone really cares that the student improves their reading!

said a 成人快播 Baltimore volunteer tutor.

The need is real听

In Maryland, only 24% of economically disadvantaged students are reading proficiently by the fourth grade. The nationwide trends are similar鈥攏early nine million elementary school students from low-income homes are unable to use reading as a foundational skill to power their learning in all subjects in school. 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. In fact, students who can鈥檛 read by fourth grade are four times more likely to not earn a high school diploma.

成人快播 is a proven literacy program that partners with local public schools听

In the 2018-19 school year, 成人快播 continued to build on its history of successfully advancing early literacy in Baltimore. 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.
