Raising Readers
With Raising Readers, Delta College Public Radio is partnering with schools in our community to provide students with age-appropriate books to read over the summer. Community outreach is an important part of our mission and we strive to make sure students become stronger readers.
Children who participate in summer reading increase their reading skills, motivation, and confidence. Reading expands a child's vocabulary and improves their comprehension ability.
Over 2,500 books will be given to students in pre-school through second grade in these schools:
- Akron-Fairgrove Elementary
- Arthur Eddy Academy
- Atherton (Burton)
- Carsonville-Port Sanilac
- Caseville Elementary
- Central Park Elementary
- Coleman Elementary
- Dailey Elementary (Beecher)
- Doyle Ryder (Flint)
- Kempton Elementary
- Merrill Park
- Pinconning Elementary
- Potter (Flint)
- Washington Elementary
