Club Can Help Early Readers Gain Confidence

Readers age 5 to 9 can gain confidence and improve their skills during a four-week session.

If you have a child between 5 and 9 years old who struggles with reading or has trouble selecting the right book, the Reading Club may help turn your reluctant reader into a bookworm. 

The program, taught by certified teacher Sarah Hanson, with the assistance of peer mentors, seeks to foster a "can-do" attitude in young readers. 

Depending on each child’s level, the student will use books, games, music and other activities to improve decoding, fluency in oral reading, oral response to questions and overall comprehension.
