Mission: Literacy, Read to a Child

Save to Favorites

Did you know that 35% of children enter school academically at risk? In addition, upon entering the first grade, a middle-class child has enjoyed 1000 to 1700 hours of one-on-one reading while a low-income child has experienced only 25 hours of one-on-one reading. What better gift to give children than instilling confidence and a love of reading? We have the perfect opportunity available to do just that! The purpose of Mission: Literacy is to significantly increase the percentage of children able to read at grade level. It was also created to help children discover the joy of reading God’s word. In accomplishing these primary objectives, the program will also help to break the cycle of illiteracy, to establish caring relationships between tutors and children, and to have children embrace the conviction that reading is a useful and enjoyable activity. This highly individualized approach secures both the attention and support critical to educational and spiritual development. Mission: Literacy combines a phonics and whole language approach to decoding words. Active, hands-on learning is also a catalyst to its success. A rewarding experience you will treasure forever, as will the children.
