School Age Education at Family Literacy of Racine provides an afterschool
program for 1st through 9th graders. Because many come from low literacy/
low income families, the over arching goal for these children/youth is to bridge
the "achievement gap" through enrichment and skill building activities. The
focus is on literacy and building social-emotional "assets" that keep kids learn-
and growing.
Newest part of the program is "asset building." This year middle schoolers
got a say in what books they would read and will continue to be involved in
other planning. The intent is to build both involvement and self confidence.
Each semester RFL will also try to do a small community service project
with these youth. Awareness of others is a key trait for successful teens.
