Major Activities

Activity 2

The Better Basics Reading Intervention program works with elementary school students who are reading below grade level by providing individual attention in a small group format from a qualified teacher in order to improve their reading and comprehension skills. In the 2010-2011 fiscal year, 81% of students participating in our Reading Intervention program increased their reading skills and comprehension by at least five book levels. The Reading Intervention program served 492 students. More than 50 volunteers and 30 teachers delivered service to participating students.

Activity 3

The MORE (Motivators of Reading Enrichment) program encourages fourth-grade students to read for pleasure by providing students access to a library of fifty-five age-appropriate books for classroom use. Children are encouraged to participate in the program and are rewarded with books, t-shirts, water bottles, wrist bands, and blue ribbons correlating to milestones reached by the students. In the 2010-2011 fiscal year, more than 1,600 fourth-grade students were served in the Better Basics MORE program. Classroom volunteers report that students read more than 19,800 books, and students were rewarded with more than 24,000 books for their home libraries. Volunteers provided more than 4,700 hours of support to students in the MORE program.
