Readers Needed!
The PUMP Summer Program needs you to help individual children and small groups in our Reading Program. Come to Mallory Church of Christ on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday from July 9 through August 1, 9:00-10:30 a.m. Each volunteer is provided with excellent curriculum and tons of support and encouragement! During the small group reading program volunteers read a book to the group together, help children read their own books and journal their ideas, and facilitate reading enhancement activities. If you prefer to help children one on one, you will use the same curriculum as the small groups with one child who could benefit from individualized attention and support in their reading endeavors.
This program is invaluable for helping children maintain their reading levels between school years! Studies show that many low-income children do not have opportunity to read with adults at home either because books are not readily available or because the adults within a given home are working or have multiple children or generations for which they need to give care. You can make a difference!
It's easy! It's fun! Why don't you give it a try?
