TULSA, Okla. — 2 News and Domian Family Dentistry are teaming up for a 2 Cares for the Community Book Drive on June 25th.
The drive is benefiting Gaining Ground Literacy which works for foster a love of reading in children with several programs:
- BOOKS. BOOKS. BOOKS. Providing children with books to take home over the summer break has a positive impact on maintaining their reading skills. We provide the opportunity for students to choose 10 engaging books for their take home summer library.
- MORE BOOKS. Students will have the opportunity to trade out their books each week to keep them engaged and excited to read all summer long.
- READING. WRITING. TALKING Provide weekly opportunities for children to talk with teachers about their reading and ways to write a variety of responses about their reading.
- INDIVIDUALIZED LITERACY INTERVENTIONS Children that are significantly behind grade level will have the opportunity for weekly reading interventions with a highly qualified teacher.
- FAMILY INVOLVEMENT Providing encouragement and guidance to families and caregivers increases the impact on student growth. Families are provided with specific ways to support their children throughout the summer months.
