Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

READING ENCOURAGEMENT PROGRAMS: READING TO KIDS ORGANIZES READING CLUBS AT EIGHT LOS ANGELES AREA ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ON THE SECOND SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH. BEFORE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, APPROXIMATELY 30 TEACHERS, 100 PARENTS, 300 VOLUNTEERS, AND 600 CHILDREN WOULD ATTEND OUR MONTHLY READING CLUBS. BEGINNING IN MAY 2020, THE READING CLUBS WENT VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM, WITH AN AVERAGE OF 33 TEACHERS, 91 VOLUNTEERS, AND 244 CHILDREN ATTENDING DURING THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. DURING THE READING CLUBS, PAIRS OF VOLUNTEERS READ TEACHER-SELECTED BOOKS TO SMALL GROUPS OF CHILDREN WHILE THEIR PARENTS ATTEND TEACHER-LED CLASSES, RECEIVING TRAINING ON HOW TO ENCOURAGE THEIR CHILDREN TO READ AT HOME. THE 90-MINUTE READING CLUBS END WITH AN ARTS AND CRAFTS PROJECT FOR THE CHILDREN, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO FURTHER INSPIRE THEM WITH A LOVE OF READING. THE BOOKS USED AT THE READING CLUBS ARE DONATED TO THE SCHOOL LIBRARIES, AND THE ATTENDING CHILDREN AND PARENTS RECEIVE PRIZE BOOKS TO TAKE HOME TO SUPPLEMENT THEIR HOME LIBRARIES. ATTENDING TEACHERS ALSO RECEIVE PRIZE BOOKS FOR THEIR CLASSROOMS IN THANKS FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE WITH THE READING CLUBS. DURING THE VIRTUAL READING CLUBS, THE PARENT CLASSES HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL WE RESUME IN-PERSON READING CLUBS.
