Read to Succeed (R2S)
Read to Succeed (R2S) is
recruiting volunteer reading coaches for children K-3 in the Asheville
City Schools who are struggling to read. A nonprofit started with the
aim of assisting the Asheville schools in closing the achievement gap,
R2S works with children from low-literacy households who are at high
risk for reading problems. Volunteer coaches meet one-on-one with
students for 45 minutes, 2 days a week, during school hours. "Reading
Buddies" commit to a less frequent schedule, meeting once per week for
45 minutes. The Spring 2016 training program begins with a Q&A
session on February 18 in the R2S office in the Pisgah View Apartments
at 16A Stewart Street, followed by a training program which meets 3
times per week from 2/23 - 3/19.
