Program accomplishments

THIS PROGRAM ENABLES THE CHILDREN WE SERVE TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, AND ATTITUDES THAT ARE DEVELOPMENTAL PRECURSORS TO READING AND WRITING. IT IS ADMINISTERED BY TRAINED, PAID TEACHING STAFF CALLED LITERACY COACHES. THE READING TEAM AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM SERVES CHILDREN IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH GRADE WHO TYPICALLY ARE REFERRED TO US BY THEIR TEACHERS BECAUSE THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP IN THE CLASSROOM AND SOMETIMES BECAUSE THEY HAVE CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS AS WELL. THE READING TEAM ENGAGES THE CHILDREN IN A WIDE RANGE OF LITERACY-NURTURING ACTIVITIES THAT ENABLE THEM TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN READING ABILITY THEIR FIRST YEAR IN THE PROGRAM. MORE THAN 80% OF READING TEAM CHILDREN HAVE HISTORICALLY PASSED THE NEW YORK STATE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS EXAM GIVEN STARTING IN 3RD GRADE (ON AVERAGE IN HARLEM, ONLY 30% OF CHILDREN PASS THIS EXAM)THE AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED BY TRAINED,PAID TEACHERS KNOWN AS LITERACY COACHES.
