I would like to circulate an announcement about Reach Inc.'s 3rd Annual Literacy Carnival. This is a family-fun event in the Capitol Hill community on Saturday, May 9th, 10am to 2pm, at Eastern Senior High School (1700 East Capitol Street NE, Washington DC 2003). We will convene great games, guest authors, and free book prizes.
Reach Inc. will gather young readers, ages 3 to grade 3, to play literacy-based games like the Spell & Splash Dunk Tank and the Rhyme Zone Spinner, while practicing reading skills. Kids will earn tickets to be redeemed at the First Book DC Prize Pavilion to earn a variety of prizes, including books to build their own home libraries. The games will be run by volunteers and teen tutors from Reach's after-school program.
Background on Reach Incorporated:
Reach Incorporated is a local nonprofit, and partner with the Mayor's Office to Empower Males of Color, that addresses the illiteracy crisis in DC Public Schools by training teens to teach. Our unique model caught the attention of WJLA's Leon Harris, featuring us as "Harris' Heroes" on the ABC evening news. During the school year, our trained teen tutors work in elementary schools and community centers across the city. Through the process, both the teens and their students experience significant improvement. During the summer, our teens author children's books in an effort to create content more relevant to the children they tutor. And, for the past two years, our tutors have led this special day of literacy fun at the end of the school year.
For your convenience, I have also attached our flyer for circulation. Feel free to contact me, or my colleague Sully, for more details on the carnival: sully@reachincorporated.org, (202) 445-4263.
Thank you for your support!
