Empowering still has room for students in
July
June is gone and July is upon us. There is still room for students in
Empowering Darke County Youth’s Summer Small Group Tutoring Program at
Edison State Community College. No signup forms are needed. Bring your
student(s) any day, Monday through Thursday (except July 4), from 4
p.m. to 5:30 p.m. We will enroll the child and place him or her with a
tutor. Tutoring sessions are held in Room 131 at Edison State on Wagner
Avenue.
Summer is a great time for relaxing, swimming, summer sports and simply
enjoying the warm weather. It is also a great time to fine-tune reading
and math skills.
If your child is not doing as well as he or she should in math, or
homework was a struggle last year, maybe it’s due to rusty basics, such
as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Also, according to
Scholastic, students who don’t read during the summer can lose two to
three months of reading skills. Students who do read during the summer
can gain a month of reading proficiency.
If tutoring doesn’t fit your summer schedule, then load up on books to
read and hold 5-10 minute math practice sessions every day you can. A
little summer effort can save a lot of fall pain.
Empowering Darke County Youth is a United Way Partner Agency providing
After School and Summer Tutoring programs to assist students in the
areas of language arts and math with the goal of Strong Students for a
Strong Community.
