4Cs Literacy Program
The 4Cs Literacy Program promotes the reinforcement of pre-literacy skills and reading skills to children ages 3 - 5 who visit our 4Cs store and the love of reading for all ages. Our "Reading on Wheels" tutoring program provides one-on-one reading intervention to at-risk students in five Martin County schools. This project, under the leadership of one of our dedicated volunteers and retired teacher Betty Mulligan, began in 2007. The 4Cs Reading On Wheels program has 72 trained volunteer tutors in five Martin County schools. This program has currently targeted more than 258 at-risk students in reading.
We help more than 1,000 children each year in our store library. These are mainly pre-school age children who are not at a reading level to begin kindergarten, who have not attended any type of pre-k program and have had no early reading intervention. We give alphabet flashcards to pre-kindergarten children to practice at home.
Our in-store literacy program utilizes volunteers who speak both English and Spanish to read to the children who visit the store. They assist parents with reading techniques and furnish grade level materials needed to help the child practice reading at home. A volunteer offers each child who comes to the store two books to take home with them. Videotapes in Spanish are used to instruct parents on the value of reading and to encourage parents to promote reading at home.
We give alphabet flashcards to pre-kindergarten children for practice at home.
Volunteering in the literacy area of our store offers one of our most rewarding opportunities. Volunteers are always needed on Wednesdays, Fridays and the first Saturday of each month during store hours. Please call the 4Cs to find out more about volunteering: 221-8777.
The 4Cs Literacy Program needs your help. Won't you consider becoming a volunteer today? Or, please help us to teach more children the reading skills they need with a generous donation today. We also need chapter books for our library.
