Sponsored by the Kern County Superintendent of Schools and The Bakersfield Californian, the Community Reading Project trains and places volunteers in teams of five so students receive assistance every day of the school week.
The Community Reading Project does produce results. During 2006-07, student reading skills measured at the end of each semester of tutoring averaged about one and a half grade levels of growth.
Volunteer training for the fall semester is required and involves only two hours. Those interested can train on Aug. 22 from 3 to 5 p.m., at University Square, 2000 K St. No pre-registration is necessary.
For more information, call Teresa Twisselman at 636-4645.
