GOOD NEWS: Nonprofit engages community to improve literacy

Special to Charleston Currents  | Reading Partners South Carolina provides supplemental literacy instruction for students struggling to read in 17 under-resourced, Lowcountry elementary schools by recruiting hundreds of community volunteers. Pairing each volunteer with a student and providing a research-based curriculum, Reading Partners enables each volunteer to produce measurable gains in their students’ reading test scores.

“Our volunteers are the heart of our work with our students, and our volunteers will tell you that it’s the highlight of their week,” says Kecia Greenho, executive director of Reading Partners South Carolina. “This is the best way to actively engage the community in helping to solve the education crisis we have in South Carolina.”
