It’s back to school time and the Northern Kentucky Education Council is gearing up to support young readers through its One to One Reading program.
Reading on grade level by 3rd grade is a determining factor of a child’s future academic success.
One to One provides a cadre of volunteers to help more than 190 students in 24 Northern Kentucky elementary schools practice reading and gain confidence in their reading skills.
Call for Volunteers
One to One is recruiting parents, grandparents, business leaders, and community volunteers to serve as One to One Reading Coaches.
