The ReadingPals Initiative focuses on early literacy intervention and reading readiness. ReadingPals connects passionate, committed volunteers with students in kindergarten through second grade who have been identified as struggling readers. Using a developed curriculum, each ReadingPal commits one hour a week for the entire school year to read to the same child and work on literacy skills. Each student takes home a brand new book every week. For the 2017-18 school year, 140 ReadingPals volunteers were trained and deployed in 17 schools in Leon & Gadsden Counties. Students participating in the ReadingPals program increased reading scores on average at three times the rate of their peers that did not receive assistance.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2017 – Jun 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$43.4KProgram 3 [2018]
