Through Read365, we will increase the literacy skills of fourth and fifth grade students by providing more opportunities for students to read interactively and analyze literature with adult volunteers.
You will participate in an exciting, professional volunteer orientation with Read365 team members to understand the importance of literacy and become equipped with the latest tools to maximize your effectiveness.
You will be paired with either one or two students with whom you will share in the following activities during your hour-long session each week:
- Reading fun, grade-level appropriate chapter books such as "Because of Winn Dixie" by Kate DiCamillo, "Wonder" by RJ Palacio and "Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli.
- Engaging your student(s) in intellectually stimulating discussion about the books.
- Encouraging your student(s) to write in the Read365 journal to reinforce concepts learned during reading.
You will enjoy the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with students that will have positive lifelong academic, social and emotional impacts.

Mission Statement
Meeting Street Schools (MSS) is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to the creation of a new mandate for education in South Carolina and beyond. MSS was founded upon the belief that all children deserve an excellent education regardless of their geographic or socioeconomic circumstances, and all children have the ability to excel in the classroom. Where access to quality public education or affordable private alternatives is severely limited, MSS is providing children with transformational educational opportunities.
Description
Meeting Street Schools is a network of four schools (three in Charleston and one in Spartanburg) in South Carolina, serving students grades PK3 - 5th. Through partnerships with local school districts (Charleston County and Spartanburg District 7), our vision is to prove what is possible for all students in South Carolina and to fundamentally alter expectations for educators and students working in schools that serve under-resourced communities. Our focus is on schools because we believe that educational opportunity is the gateway for economic and personal achievement.
