MAYOR TECKLENBURG ANNOUNCES LITERACY CAMP, MAKES CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg, alongside representatives from the City of Charleston Recreation Department, Mayor鈥檚 Office for Children, Youth, and Families, and 成人快播, recently announced this year鈥檚 Arthur W. Christopher Community Center Kids Camp, which will feature a specialized 成人快播 curriculum. The mayor also stressed the important need for summer literacy volunteers.

Across South Carolina, students who are not reading on grade level by fourth grade have an 88 percent chance of never catching up and are four times more likely to drop out of high school, stated a press release. By integrating individualized literacy support and mentorship into summer camp programs, 成人快播 aims to curb summer learning loss and prevent reading drop off.

Based on testing administered before and after last year鈥檚 summer program, 82 percent of the 70 participating campers either increased or maintained their reading skills.

鈥淪etting our children up for success is a true community effort, and with the help of literacy volunteers this summer, we will have the chance to build upon last year鈥檚 success and offer even more campers the opportunity to improve their reading ability,鈥 said Mayor Tecklenburg.

鈥淭he development of strong reading skills is foundational to all learning, and our partnership with the City of Charleston helps us ensure that our children are both having fun and thriving academically,鈥 added Kecia Greenho, executive director of 成人快播 South Carolina.

Tutoring will take place Monday through Thursday beginning June 4 and lasting through August 10. More than 300 program volunteers are needed on a flexible basis with a minimum one-hour commitment per week. Those interested in volunteering can find more information and sign up at聽.
