Program descriptionApproved
Riverbend Literacy Project provides free one-to-one reading support for children in grades one to four. Volunteer tutors meet students twice a week at local schools, using reading materials matched to each child’s level. Families receive books to take home, helping children keep practicing between sessions. We track reading progress and attendance, and our coordinators review results with teachers each term. The program combines regular tutoring and family participation to give children more opportunities to practice reading.
