The Bronx Shepherds Education
Committee has embarked on a
reading program that provides
reading enrichment skills to the
young people of its member
churches. The goal of the Reading
Enrichment Program is to help
counteract the downward trend of
reading scores by offering a resource
that will enable children to become
better readers. The program will
utilize extra curriculum materials
intended to motivate elementary
school children age six through
eleven years of age or first through
sixth grade to develop and/or
supplement the necessary reading
and writing skills required to do well
in school.
We are presently developing plans to initiate an inter-generational program and a
resource center at our office.
