Growing Readers Together
If your K-3rd grader is reading below grade level and attends school within the library's service area, email Alex Dailey or call 231-758-3112 or email Val Meyerson or call 231-758-3120 for further information.
Growing Readers Together is a three-pronged approach for K-3rd grade students who are below reading level to enhance their reading proficiency: direct tutoring for students, Family Literacy Nights to help families learn more skills to support their student’s achievements, and Brain Boxes to provide materials for students to take home.
