Teach 36 children with limited English to read

Dear Penndco Donors!

We would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to host the Literacy Master Map Program again this school year: 2022-2023. Reading opens the door to many new opportunities that our kids could take advantage of.

The course will be focused on the most important aspect of reading – comprehension. It is critical that when students are reading, they are understanding what they are reading and are able to analyze the text. We will also be working on identifying themes, identifying key ideas in a text, and understanding the structure of a text. All these elements of reading are critical in developing student’s ability to handle texts independently. The class will also focus on various skills connected to writing. Students will learn how to structure their writing as well as have exposure to a variety of different types of writing. We will be working on connecting ideas to what children already know. Students will develop and expand knowledge of words and increase personal vocabulary by listening to a variety of texts. They will also express ideas or opinions in group and individual settings. The students will be exposed to reading, writing, and playing games that are developed for literacy development.

We are sure that our new students who will start to participate in our program this year will enjoy new friends, interactions, and social situations. It is a pleasure moment to read the new names of our students who want to be the great reader at school: Mya, Anna, Maxim, Edgaras, Marharyta... Welcome new Penndco Students! 

Again and again we thank our sponsors for helping us inspire young minds and develop their love for reading. Thank you Penndco Parents Committee in supporting our Literacy Master Map Program 2022-2023!
