Literacy Partners

"...every child reading by the end of 3rd grade."
 
Literacy Partners is a partnership with RPE's local community that pairs K-3rd grade students with approved volunteers to practice reading and engage in fun conversations about the books being read.
 
The program involves the community or parent volunteer reading weekly with two students, one-on-one for 15 minutes each, right outside the classroom door.
