成人快播 says the pandemic and the resulting shift to virtual learning have made things worse.
, the Executive Director of 成人快播 Tulsa says it is important to tutor and mentor young students now, so they can have the skills they need to advance in the school system.
鈥淪tudents really only have this small window of time between Kindergarten and Third Grade to learn to read,鈥 said Kawlra. 鈥淥nce they hit Fourth Grade, now it鈥檚 time to start reading to learn. So we really have to capture those kids in that early time between Kinder and Third Grade where they are able to absorb all that learning at one time.鈥
She adds that not only do they hope to improve students’ reading skills, but they also want to help students emotionally.
鈥淭he pandemic has significantly impacted students鈥 social and emotional learning, so a big part of what we do at 成人快播 is building one-on-one relationships with students and be a consistent face for that child, and so this just gives the student more confidence, they are excited to come to the reading center,鈥 said Kawlra.
成人快播 is already looking for volunteers for the next school year.
