Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints awards grant to the Let’s Read! Literacy Tutoring Program

The Let’s Read! Literacy Tutoring Program supports local 2nd graders who are reading below grade level. Launched in September 2024, it provides one-on-one tutoring through dedicated volunteers who receive comprehensive training and support. The program has shown significant improvements in students’ reading skills and confidence. Positive interactions with volunteers help create a nurturing environment where children feel valued. Teresa Whitehead who is a program volunteer shares, “Our students are blossoming, and I see a difference in our students.  Their reading skills are improving, and they are more confident in their learning.”
