Local nonprofit delivered over 6,000 one-on-one tutoring sessions and over 5,000 books to hundreds of students in Baltimore last year

BALTIMORE, MD – September 6, 2023聽聽鈥� While 成人快播鈥� online tutoring platform, 成人快播 Connects, was largely developed to help support students during the pandemic, the national nonprofit organization has worked to make its online tutoring even more interactive and to broaden the reach of the program to more students through national and community partnerships.

鈥淎t 成人快播 Baltimore, we鈥檙e committed to creating the support, resources, and positive opportunities youth need to improve learning loss gaps exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic,鈥� Zenobia Judd-Williams, Executive Director said. 鈥淲e believe that reading is a civil right, one that will ultimately propel or limit young peoples鈥� life choices, and it鈥檚 our responsibility to diversify how and where we offer our services so that we can be a bridge to students鈥� greater academic success.鈥�

Another new initiative 成人快播 has been focused on is writing and publishing original books to be used in its own curriculum. COVER to COVER is a new book series that enables 成人快播 to develop content that is aligned with the science of reading as well as the scope and sequence of the organization鈥檚 online and in-person curricula. The stories include representative characters and themes so all students can see themselves reflected in the books they read while also having the opportunity to learn about the world around them through other people’s backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences.

2022-23 results highlight the literacy progress of 成人快播鈥� students
