Rumi Center - Reading Bee Program

Saturday, December 2 & 9, 2023 from 10:30 AM till 11:45 AM

Direction: Central Phoenix

We are looking for people who are passionate about giving children a hand up to volunteer with us. We are starting a new reading program in a housing complex in central phoenix with many refugees and other low-income families from diverse backgrounds. Our objective is to teach 4-9year old kids to read proficiently at 2nd grade level and beyond. We will teach them to read, to write, and to experience the joy of reading through "Story Time" where we read them story books with diverse characters that reflect the diversity of the kids, so they can see themselves in these stories. This will be great fun for the kids and the volunteers. Would you join us to make a lifelong impact on a child? please see the attached flyer for more information and how to register.
