ATC tutors are now helping their Book Buddies students learn to read from afar. Students are receiving bags with books appropriate to their reading levels so they can talk, FaceTime or Zoom with their tutors who are reading the same books online. Connections have been made and reading progress is happening! Well done, tutors!!

Please support ATC between now and April 15 for Spring2ACTion, a 24-hour online giving event held annually to raise funds for all participating charitable organizations in Alexandria. We know that Alexandria’s kids are going to need reading help more than ever once they return to school, and we want to serve as many of them as possible. Thank you for helping us make that happen!
Firefighter Rick of the Alexandria Fire Department joined Reading Readiness students and tutors at John Adams to celebrate Read Across America Day! Firefighter Rick read Clifford The Firehouse Dog and discussed the importance of reading and of fire safety. Students learned to stop, drop and roll, and they were really excited to have such a special guest!
