The Taylor Reading Corps and the Wayne County Sheriff's Department have partnered to promote March National Reading Awareness Month in eight Taylor elementary schools.
Over 40 Wayne County Deputy Sheriffs and Sheriff Benny Napoleon haved commited to read aloud to students in the Taylor School District.
Reading aloud is a key way to introduce new vocabulary to children. When children are read aloud to for 15 minutes every day from birth, these children will be ready to learn when they enter kindergarten. They will have the literacy skills needed to succeed in school, and they will be prepared for a productive and meaningful life.
The Taylor Reading Corps is a nonprofit organization that promoted volunteerism and citizen service to help children gain reading proficiency by the end of the third grade. Michigan is one of only four states in which fourth-grade reading proficiency is declining.
The Taylor Reading Corps is a member of the Campaign for Grade Level Reading, which works to increase reading proficiency.
