District 69 Bookworm Program
All Children Deserve To Read
Why we Do it
Unfortunately, for many children in our community, to own their own book is a privilege not afforded to them. We know that literacy is a key life skill and reading at home is the building block to this skill, not to mention the other benefits to reading at home - the memories it makes, the bonds it creates, and the creativity it inspires.
How it Works
The process starts with a schools' administrator confidentially determining the students who are in need. We then pick a book that best suits the child's interests and reading level. Our project is starting at two schools in our area (Errington Elementary and Springwood Elementary), spanning across three grade levels. Our hope is to expand our project to all of the schools in District 69.
