How to Choose a Book
Choosing the right or wrong book will make a big difference in a child developing a love of reading.
Reading & Art
Take away six ideas for expressive art activities, including one based on a popular children's book.
With Energy Express, more than 3,000 children statewide gain or maintain reading levels during summer months through creative, colorful and captivating uses of art, drama and vocabulary. Our program also provides children with two nutritious meals each day during the program, helping to ensure our youths are fed each day even after the school year comes to an end.
With the help of volunteers and mentors, students enjoy a daily read aloud to further
enhance comprehension and fluency.
