Rotary Readers - Volunteer Opportunity

Posted on Sep 22, 2016

The Rotary Readers program is in progress. Members volunteer to help develop reading skills with grade school students one-on-one. You are invited to become a Rotary Reader. Why? Three quick reasons: you will enjoy meeting and working with a couple of kids who need your help; studies show children who can’t read well in second grade will almost certainly drop out of school and cost you a lot of tax dollars, and Skinner Magnet Center is our adopt-a-school partner and they are looking for help and support from our club.

Interested? Contact Don Otis (Donaldotis@mac.com) to get started with this project. Typically, readers spend an hour and work with two students each visit. The visits can be weekly or bi-weekly (or whatever your schedule allows), typically on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays during school hours.

Reading with the 2nd and 3rd students is a great volunteer opportunity. Join Don Otis, Susan Thomas and others who are already reading at the school.
