Putting More Education in MEAC

October 21, 2011

For the second school year in a row, MEAC’s Early Literacy Program is helping preschoolers through third graders improve their reading skills. Only 44% of the 3rd grade students at John P. Parker Elementary School tested at or above a proficient level in the 2009-2010 school year. That means that 56% tested below their reading level. Surprising? MEAC thought so too. That’s why Robyn White, our Literacy Program Coordinator, developed this program to help kids improve their reading skills and gain a love of reading. The MEAC Early Literacy Program expects to close the achievement gap by providing an after school program that is research based and provides teaching that is systematic, captivating, and focused on success in addition to being attuned to the individual needs of each student.
