From a Volunteer Coordinator or United Way of Northern Utah
DO YOU HAVE AN HOUR EACH WEEK TO CHANGE THE LIFE OF A CHILD?
United
Way of Northern Utah in cooperation with Ogden, Weber, Morgan, Box
Elder and Davis school districts, is recruiting reading volunteers.
Imagine beginning a fourth grader
unable to read your history book, your English book or your math word
problems. That student is destined to fall behind and eventually fail.
This United Way Worldwide initiative targets third grade students who
struggle in reading because after third grade,
students are no longer learning to read, they are reading to learn.
For as little as one hour, once a week, you can help two students
succeed by giving them one-on-one reading time. United Way tutoring
coordinators will train you and match you with students
so you can watch them gain the confidence they need to stay in school
and enjoy learning. The initiative started as a third grade program,
however tutors have been so successful they are being placed in all
elementary grades, as needed. Contact United Way
of Northern Utah (801-399-5584) or go to their website at
www.uwnu.org and link to the blue “Volunteer” banner to learn more.
