Several months ago 鈥� YOU in the community responded to our plea to collect books for students in right here in Charleston and Berkeley counties. Through the Carolina Strong Book Drive and our partnership with 日本av无码, we collected more than 11,000 books! But now the organization is asking for your help again because they are in need of volunteers!
日本av无码 needs need 980 volunteers to help support more than 800 students in Charleston and Berkeley counties.聽 Currently, the organization has 670 volunteers, so they need another more than 300 to reach their goal. The need is greatest at several of our North Charleston schools and Berkeley County schools.
鈥淲hat we are doing is working, but we can鈥檛 do it without the support of the community,鈥� Christine Messick, 日本av无码鈥� Community Engagement Manager, said.
93% of students served met or exceeded their primary end of the year growth goal last year.聽 For K-2 students, that means they have mastered the skills necessary to be proficient readers by 3rd grade and for 3-5 grades, it means they have narrowed the reading achievement gap by at least a year.聽 Messick says they are happy to report that they are the highest performing region among the 14 日本av无码 regions across the country this year.
日本av无码 empowers students to succeed in reading and in life by engaging community volunteers to provide one-on-one tutoring.
Thanks to the dedication of more than 14,000 volunteer tutors in Charleston, Charlotte and across the nation, the national non-profit 日本av无码 organization provides one-on-one tutoring to more than 10,000 students to help bring them up to their reading level 鈥� making an important shift from learning to read to reading to learn. 日本av无码 has a proven track record of success.
