We had an amazing evening at our Tell Me Why It Works: The Science Behind Reading panel discussion. There were 150 people in the audience at Barack Obama Magnet University School while over 300 watched the livestream. Our panelists included Emily Hanford, Dr. Kymyona Burke, Dr. Tamu Lucero, Amy Dowell, and Amy Stockton. Our moderator was Margie Gillis of Literacy How. Everyone shared a different perspective about the science behind reading and it’s importance in using it in our school systems.

We are so excited to announce that we have opened a new location as part of the after-school program at Bishop Woods Architecture and Design Magnet School in New Haven!
 
We are starting this program by welcoming 12 students twice a week and we will double the program to 24 students over four days beginning in January! Students will follow our regular, one-on-one tutoring model that is based in the science of reading.
 
Charlene Cua, NHR Associate Director, told us, “This Bishop Woods collaboration will have a significant impact on both the reading skills and the self-confidence of these students and we can’t wait to see them achieve their goals!”
We are still seeking tutors for Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30pm to 4:30pm to help us with the Bishop Woods program! If you or someone you know would like to volunteer at this location, please contact Fernanda at volunteer@test.newhavenreads.org. Full training and support will be provided.
 
New Haven Reads is grateful for the opportunity to create this partnership with the Bishop Woods team and expand our program in communities where it is needed. We look forward to lots of joyful learning and fun with this program expansion!
