SC Summer Reading Camps
In 2022, TCOM was selected for a Summer Reading Camp Community Partnership Grant by the SC Department of Education. In partnership with The Family Learning Company, we delivered over 80 Mary McLeod Bethune Family Literacy Tablets to the Dillon 4 school district, trained parents and teachers on their use, and watched their children learn. In only three weeks, 57 children and adults in their families mastered over 1,600 learning activities in social-emotional learning, vocabulary, phonemic awareness, reading fluency and writing. They then took the tablets home, and continue to use them to build reading and writing skills to this day.
In 2023, TCOM was again selected for a Summer Reading Camp Community Partnership Grant by the SC Department of Education. In partnership with The Family Learning Company, we delivered over 100 Bethune Family Literacy software licenses and 20 Bethune Family Literacy Tablets to the Florence 3 school district, trained parents and teachers on their use, and watched their children learn. Over three weeks, 42 children mastered over 1,500 learning activities in vocabulary, reading fluency, phonics and writing. The district then launched the software in its Pre-K program where 24 children and their parents have learned over 200 reading skills. The district continues to expand its use of the software licenses.
