Reading Buddies
The Board and Staff of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Charlotte are very concerned with the reading test scores for the children in Charlotte. Even though the kids attending our Clubs are being promoted to the next grade each year, their reading scores are below grade level and interest in reading in general is lower than we would like to see it.
