The Reading Program
 The program is an after-school supplemental program with a unique one-on-one approach to learning for students in grades K-12 who are struggling with reading and math and performing on, or below, grade level.  This one-on-one method sets us apart from tutors and other services.  

With The Free To Read Curriculum for at-risk children, students learn to develop a solid foundation in reading with phonics. The reading components are intensive phonics, alphabet in song and pictures, sight words, phrases, sentences, and vocabulary. 

The Center uses several techniques to accomplish its mission.
(1) Administer the STAR Reading Pre and Post Tests.
(2) Use age-apppropriate materials and interactive technology software.
(3) Online preparation for the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test,(CRCT), the
      state-mandated test that is administered to all students in grades 1-8.
(4) The Computer Rooms are quipped with thirty (40) computers filled with educational
      interactive software for children to use for reinforcement, a source of information, 
      and pleasure.    
(5) The Book Room has over 300 books to use for Accelerated Reading  and  
     comprehension.
(6) Students are served after-school snacks.
(7) The Homework Room is equipped with 15 student desks
(8) Van transportation to the Center is provided to students from Thomasville City and
     Thomas County Schools.
