Reading College open house shows off student progress
The Reading College, an annual literacy-focused summer program for young students struggling with reading and writing, has 69 students this year and showcased their progress at an open house on July 11.
Held in classrooms at the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre, the program runs for the entire month of July and is free for students to attend. They are bussed to the classrooms and provided breakfast, lunch, and snacks.
One student, Lochlan, shared his progress after about one week of lessons.
“I’m better at reading, I’m better at writing. I used to not know how to write ‘because,’ and now I do,” he said, adding, “I’m reading Level K books and they’re getting easier.”
