Wilson’s World: Y Readers Program at Hidden Valley Elementary School

CHARLOTTE, N.C. –  It may be summer, but that doesn’t mean that kids can’t keep learning.  Wilson was doing a little “campfire” reading with some of the kids at Hidden Valley Elementary School where they were participating in the Y Readers Program.  Wilson talked with teachers, volunteers and kids about the program and how important it is for children to not get behind during their summer vacation.

Y Readers is the YMCA of Greater Charlotte’s ‎nationally recognized literacy program that serves rising first through third grade students. The mission of Y Readers is to provide the additional support that students need to be proficient in reading by the end of third grade.  The kids not only enjoy reading but they also getting out of the school and taking field trips during the program.
