TRC SUMMER READING PROGRAM: Plenty of activity, plenty of photos

The Taylor Reading Corps' Summer Reading Program is in full swing, housed at McDowell Elementary School.

Recently, the children in the program finished up moon prints and alphabet constellations. More recently, it was "On the Farm" week as they created paper plate chickens, and made farm themed silly stories focusing on a letter of the alphabet.

The children also recently played a homemade board game where they had to sound out letters and name words that started with the letter they landed on.

They also made farm animal books and worked on sequencing.

The TRC is always seeking volunteers and donations. Next year, its in-school tutoring program expands to the second grade. This year, it included preschool, kindergarten and first-grade students. Next year's expansion marks a critical need for new volunteers in the program.

Volunteering in easy. Just get in touch with the TRC, located at 22755 Wick Road, by calling (313) 769-6730. You can also click on their Web site by clicking here or go straight to the TRC volunteer page by clicking here.
