Impact Reading Center

One of the primary ways City Impact serves children in the urban neighborhoods is through the Impact Reading Center.

Most Children entering the program are reading at 2-3 grades below their grade level. In about 2 semesters (18 weeks) most children graduate reading at their grade level.

Students achievement in reading also carries over into their school and home life as testified by many parents and teachers. When students gain confidence in their reading ability, it enables them to learn more readily and to better comprehend what they are studying.

Moreover, when students experience the small accomplishment of completing a story, they begin to understand they can achieve bigger things in life. They now have the skills and confidence to go into the world and be the person who God has created them to be.

Approximately 60 children are on a waiting list to be tutored.

Available Tutoring Spots are:

Monday-Friday
9:40 am-10:20 am
10:20 am-11:00 am
1:00 pm-1:40 pm
1:40 pm-2:20 pm

Our Goal in Campus Impact was to fill 15 tutoring spots during this semester. I am excited to tell you that 15 people signed up last week at Real Time! They are being contacted this week to discuss potential days and times for serving.
