Ozarks Literacy Council Elementary and Preschool reading

Program Overview

Preschool Readings are conducted four times during the school year. The book is read aloud to the class and an interactive activity is played. Each child brings home a book, activity and a suggestion page for how parents/caregivers can engage with their child over the book. The 2018-19 school year we have read to over 600 children and given 2560 free books to those children. Our program is growing by ten schools in the 2019-20 school year adding 200 children to the program.

Elementary School classroom reading is done one hour per month on the third Wednesday. Each child receives a book to bring home. Volunteer reader shares a book or story with the classroom and asks engaging questions. Reading to children modules fluency offers a variety of genres and encourages them to read themselves. We provide the books.
