WORDS FROM OUR COORDINATORS

"My experience as co-coordinator of Read Write Discover at Bascom library was as rewarding as it was enjoyable. Being able to oversee the program from start to finish was incredible - students bonded with their tutors, tutors grew into their leadership roles, and students improved by leaps and bounds. Leading the program was new to me, and as I made errors, I learned from them and worked to make each session better than the last. As a whole, the summer was an enriching, fulfilling, and wonderful experience." - Nikhita


"Co-coordinating the RWD Bascom program has been such a wonderful experience. Throughout the process, I learned a lot about effective communication and creative problem-solving. Leading with my co-coordinator & seeing the hard work of diligent students and tutors pay off was extremely gratifying. It's amazing to see the impact that we've had on children, their families, and our broader community, and I'm incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to do so." - Regina

QUOTES FROM OUR PARENTS & TUTORS

  • "I very much enjoyed hosting RWD at the Bascom Branch Library. It was the only literacy tutoring program we held this summer and it was very popular with both the kids and parents. There was definitely a need for this program and the program met those needs. I only wish that we could have enrolled more students, but I understand that the tutors took as many kids as possible for how many tutors there were. We very much hope to be able to host RWD at Bascom Branch Library again!" - Mercedes, Literacy Program Specialist -- Family Learning Center Coordinator - Bascom Branch


  • "It's an excellent program to keep kids learning during summer and get them ready for the upcoming school year. I really like the program and how the tutor helps him get ready for the upcoming school year. I liked how it's a one on one tutorial program, please provide this program every summer. I appreciate everything that the program offers."

- Cindy, RWD parent

- Julia, RWD tutor

  • "I cannot emphasize how much I enjoyed tutoring for RWD. The coordinators did a great job making sure things could run smoothly, most of the students were very cooperative, and everyone (the tutors and the students) learned a lot. I would like to continue tutoring for RWD next year, if possible."

- Diana, RWD tutor

  • "I enjoyed being in the program very much, and I liked the fact that the entire program was no-cost, which showed that it truly aimed to foster children's interest in reading and writing and improve their literacy skills. It was a truly rewarding experience that I would love to do again."

- Nikita, RWD tutor
