Wise Readers to Leaders Information

Wise Readers to Leaders is a free, six week summer literacy and enrichment program for Kinder-9th graders in Title I LAUSD schools that aims to prevent the “summer slide,” or learning loss over summer months. We create a powerful, fun, and transformative summer for our scholars from high-need communities by providing innovative and exciting literature curriculum, and engaging enrichment activities and field trips. We emphasize literacy while instilling a love of reading and self-confidence that bolster academic success by offering our original literacy curriculum in the morning and “camp style” enrichment activities in the afternoons. Our program teachers, known as Literacy Leaders, are dedicated and enthusiastic college students, assisted by passionate and devoted high school students, known as Junior Literacy Leaders, all of whom act as role models and mentors to our students.
