Little Village READS

Our literacy intervention program provides extra layers of after-school support to make sure your child develops reading skills that are so critical to their success.

Program Fact Sheet

After-School & Summer Program

Your child will receive 1-on-1 tutoring and participate in group activities to support reading comprehension, oral fluency and a love of reading in our fun after-school program.  Our summer program gives your child the opportunity to continue learning outside of the classroom and encourages learning retention.

We also host family reading events and give you tools to help your young reader grow at home.

For students in grades 1–3 at Daniel J. Corkery School and Epiphany Catholic School, by referral only; talk to your child's teacher about enrolling
