THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE 2025 SUMMER READING PROGRAM WILL BEGIN IN MAY
Project Literacy offers a Summer Reading Program to support students entering grades 2-4 in Fall 2025.
Schools interested in advising parents of the 2025 Summer Reading Program would need to send home an application form that will be returned directly to Project Literacy at pat@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 a 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 for three x two week sessions (8 days total) throughout July and August from 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.**

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

“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!”
