A signature program of The Foundation, Read2Succeed engages hundreds of volunteers each year in providing reading assistance to first and second grade students. In addition to recruiting, training and placing volunteers, the Foundation also provides much-needed resources to support teachers in their classrooms.
The objective of the program is to match volunteers with students at Orange County elementary schools, one hour, once a week, during the school day. Volunteers will work with first and second graders who are mid to low-level readers. The overall goal is to improve student's vocabulary and reading fluency. This program is available to all Orange County public elementary schools.
Research shows first and second grades are critical developmental years – when reading becomes fundamental to advanced concepts and skills. First and second grades are also a significant social and emotional period in a child’s life, when positive encouragement and confidence are essential.
Read2Succeed expands on both aspects, with a focus on strengthening our children as they achieve milestones throughout their reading journey.
All it takes is one hour per week to impact a child’s life .
