Thanks to generous help from P&G , LULAC Cincinnati was proud to donate $10,000 to start a "Young Readers Program" in AMIS (Academy of Multilingual Immersion Studies).
The Young Readers program is a highly interactive and family oriented course designed to instill a love of reading in program participants, promote communication skills, writing ability and comprehension levels and build self-esteem. Launched as a national initiative in 1986 to improve reading skills among first through third grade students, the Young Readers program is currently in twenty-seven sites in fifteen states.
The official Kick-off of the program was on September 26th. We were honored to have Chris Monzel, member of the Cincinnati City Council, present at the kick-off.
