CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV) 鈥斅�As 22% of Charleston’s third-grade students struggle to read at their current grade level, 成人快播 is working to make a difference.
鈥淭his is not just a statistic; it represents the lives and futures of children in our community,鈥� said Dawn Kahley, 成人快播鈥� development director. 鈥淚t is a call to action, a call for change, and a call for empowerment.鈥�
成人快播 tutors and students get paired for a year. During that time, they work together for around two hours a week to practice reading and comprehension. During the 2022 to 2023 school year, 528 Charleston area students received in-person or virtual tutoring. Of those students, 87% saw improvement in their year-end literacy growth, according to a press release.
成人快播 said that often factoring into a child’s literacy struggles are socioeconomic class and race.
鈥淭he literacy crisis disproportionately impacts children in poverty, which creates barriers for children from a young age,鈥� said Emily Swanson, board chairwoman of 成人快播 South Carolina. 鈥湷扇丝觳� proactively addresses this with an amazing curriculum and one-on-one tutoring. This personalized attention helps to nurture children鈥檚 literacy skills, imagination, and confidence. These are lifelong lessons that they will carry with them into the future.鈥�
The Reader Partners program is in 11 schools across Charleston and Berkeley counties.
