The Perry Rotary Club proudly completed our annual Dr. Cabasares Literacy Project this week at Tucker Elementary School and Kings Chapel Elementary School. Every student at both schools was able to choose and take home books of their own to keep.
This project is designed to help combat summer reading loss and keep students on track for the next school year. Children who do not read or have access to books during the summer can lose 2–3 months of reading progress, making it even harder to catch up in the fall. Statistics show that only 38% of Georgia’s third-graders are reading proficiently, making reading over the summer even more important for our kids.
Literacy is one of the greatest gifts we can invest in and Perry Rotary is proud to be able to do this project annually for our local kids.
