Freedom Readers Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Surfside Beach, SC, dedicated to improving reading skills in low-income communities. Their mission is to provide one-to-one literacy tutoring, free books for home libraries, and an inspiring learning environment to children in need. By developing advanced literacy skills, Freedom Readers aims to interrupt the cycle of poverty and increase long-term career prospects for these children. They offer virtual services, as well as after school and summer literacy programs, and Advanced Placement Prep programs. With a vision to ensure that children read well by grade three, Freedom Readers believes that this will significantly increase their chances of graduating from high school. They also offer a Reading Lab program, where caregivers can have their child's reading assessed, receive personalized prescriptions for improvement, and follow up with tutoring from trained volunteers. Although their usual programs are currently on hiatus due to the COVID-19 Delta variant, Freedom Readers continues to serve the community by providing virtual services to their current scholars and other interested families.Generated from the website
