THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE 2024 SUMMER READING PROGRAM IS NOW CLOSED

Project Literacy offers a Summer Reading Program to support students entering grades 2-4 in Fall 2024.

Schools interested in advising parents of the 2024 Summer Reading Program would need to send home an application form that will be returned directly to Project Literacy at admin2@projectliteracy.ca or in person at 1635 Bertram Street. Schools currently participating in our ONE TO ONE Children’s Reading Program will be contacted first, followed by other schools within SD23.

Teachers will be requested to provide the Reading Program Facilitators with PM Benchmark reading level as well as information on any learning barriers students have experienced. This program aims to support lower income and vulnerable families in our community. Children with diverse learning abilities, English Language Learners (ELL), English as a Second Language (ESL) may not be suitable for the program.

The program runs twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, for four weeks in July and August 9:30am-12:30pm. You will receive confirmation from Project Literacy, if your child is accepted into the program.

**PLEASE NOTE: applications are not confirmed registration. The Summer Reading Program Education Coordinator will contact you directly, if your child is accepted into the program.**

There are two 4-week 2024 sessions, July and August:

The program follows the Project Literacy theme of “Tails and Tales” and gives students the opportunity to be engaged with literacy in a fun and supportive way. The program will be delivered through a Balanced Literacy approach and will include indoor and some outdoor literacy activities, refreshments, take-home books, and group/individual creative activities and literacy games.

The Summer Reading Program is provided in partnership with KCR Community Resources, Rotary Club of Kelowna Morningside, Source Office Furnishings, Central Okanagan Public Schools, Central Okanagan Foundation and The Central Okanagan Family Hub.

For more information, please email Dorothy Harrower at admin2@projectliteracy.ca.

“Absolutely wonderful, the facilitators could not be better. An excellent opportunity for my child. I would love more knowledge of what activities are happening in the class and what activities I can do at home to further support his learning. Thank you, again!”
