The Early Grade Reading program focuses on bringing tutors to the schools of Beaufort and Jasper Counties. We learn to read from 1st to 4th Grade and read to learn from then on. This program provides books and supplies to the volunteer tutors to aid in developing a reading culture in the young of our community.
