This class is designed to provide an individualized and small group approach to improving overall reading skills. Service activities and weekly visits to an elementary school or preschool are included for active reader experiences. Students assist the local foodbank and mentor/tutor Pre-K, Kindergarten or first grade students. Community service activities at a local foodbank provide hands-on experience with active reading in a job setting. A variety of literacy awareness activities, research, vocabulary development and reading of novels that explore character-building situations in teens' lives will be the focus of the class. The SOAR program has been recognized multiple times for Promising Practice awards through Characterplus.org.
