| AMERICA
READS PROGRAM Volunteers for the America Reads program sponsored by RSVP are providing well over 2 hours a week of teaching children how to read. Volunteers are also helping the children with other language skills needed to advance their reading abilities. One of the reasons the volunteers are providing more time in the America Reads program is because of their devotion to the children and teaching them how to read. Volunteers are always needed at one school or another. Teachers have Volunteers read on a one to one basis or read to a group of children. The children are always glad to see the volunteers come to their school and help them learn how to read. Usually volunteers give 2 – 3 hours a week of their time to help in this valuable program. Children who learn to read are children who learn to succeed in the global community. Wouldn’t you like to participate? Call 310-320-3322, Ges Davis, Program Manager for more information. |
