Here’s a fun summer opportunity that could make a difference in a kid’s reading life!
The Discovery Club, an intensive summer literacy program for low-income
students entering first and second grade, is looking for local authors to make a one-time class visit. The program targets a school
where two-thirds of students their age test well below state reading
standards; our students are those who are significantly
below grade level. Our goal is to raise reading levels and instill a
love of reading.

For 8 weeks (June 30–August 22) students
will attend Discovery Club at Imagine Children’s Museum in Everett, following a
nationally tested reading curriculum designed to build and enhance their
reading skills. They will also select and research
a topic of their choosing to self-author a book by the end of the
summer.
Discovery Club is seeking authors who could come and read a book that they’ve authored, talk about the writing/illustration process, and how
reading has influenced your life.
