National Education Association's Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss.

The Alexander County Partnership for Children helps promote this campaign each year by recruiting volunteers who will visit child care centers and family child care homes throughout Alexander county on March 2 and read to the children in their care! Once the volunteer is through reading the book, they will leave the book with the early childhood educator so he or she can add it to the classroom library. This year our goal is to read to 30 child care classrooms throughout Alexander county and touch the lives of around 400 children.

Motivating children to read is an important factor in student achievement and creating lifelong successful readers. Research has shown that children who are motivated and spend more time reading do better in school.

The Daniel Boone PTA is hosting a special Math and Literacy Night for all of the students and parents/guardians at our school. The event will take place in the evening. Students and family members will get to learn new math and reading strategies while playing games. Our math and reading specialists will be there to meet with any families that need help or suggestions for growth in reading or math. We also plan on giving a free book to each child. We will provide a dinner to all of the families also. This event is a great way to bridge the connection between school and home. Playing games makes learning more hands on and fun for students. We have a fantastic group of students. Our school is 100% free lunch so an event like this is so important to the kids.

New Horizons students live in poverty and do not speak English at home. Their parents are not high school graduates and cannot help their children with homework. Our students are picked up after school by New Horizons buses and taken to one of our six locations and taken home after the program. They are provided help by volunteers with their homework and spend time in a computerized reading lab to help improve their reading skills. Volunteers are critical to encouraging students in their school work and mentoring them in social skills. Last year, 82% of our students were earning a C or better in reading as reported on their grade cards from public school. Volunteers make a huge difference in these students lives!!!
