Taking Steps Toward the Future

     by Leon Scott, Executive Director

 

Reading Saturday had another amazing year in 2008-2009. We served over 200 students in grades 1-5 from seven schools, and observed excellent results on our year-end student assessments. As always, we are grateful to the people and partners that contributed to our success.

 

As school budgets are reduced and incomes shrink, families of struggling students are calling on us more than ever. Omosaze is taking thoughtful steps to meet demand by continuing our transition to a three-part intervention model that incorporate weekday, weekend, and summer learning times.

 

The weekday after-school initiative called Reading club is ready for implementation in fall 2009. During 2009-2010, we will be developing a new Summer Literacy Camp curriculum, for debut in 2010.

 

This menu of reading services creates opportunities for cost-effective solutions by equipping us to integrate reading instruction with existing after-school programs at schools and other community locations. In 2009-2010, we will explore a weekday partnership not only with Reading Saturday partners, but with Girls, Inc. of Greater Atlanta.
