Reading Blitz Brings Day of One on One Learning to Lanning Square Elementary-Broadway Campus
As part of the Cooper Lanning Promise Neighborhood Initiative's commitment to the children of the neighborhood, a Reading Blitz was conducted at the Lanning Square Elementary School, Broadway Campus on December 16, 2010. A Reading Blitz is a day of one-on-one reading at an area school, based on the "100 Book Challenge" model by the American Reading Company. The CLPN  volunteers acted as reading coaches and worked to encourage and engage-instilling the value and joy of reading in the students. Plans are underway for continuing the Reading Blitz every month, utilizing community members in order to demonstrate to students in Camden that adults are interested and invested in their success. Special thanks to the volunteers who have already participated! Be sure to check out photos from December's event on the CFS Facebook page. |
