OUR MISSION

Transforming Lives, One Child at a Time

For over a decade we have worked with refugees from dozens of nations to provide literacy training, support, and friendship through their transition into a new life in Dallas.

Reading Circle is a program that serves refugee students through developing literacy skills and cultivating mentor relationships in order to share the love of Jesus.

The Reading Circle is structured to provide our students with individualized instruction from a consistent weekly mentor/literacy coach. Students are informally assessed by his/her mentor and shared with the student as they progress through the decodable books, oral fluency and leveled readers. Each students’ progress is monitored through the program.

Through the course of the semester, students develop strong relational ties with mentors, therefore encouraging academic success.

SOME OF THE SKILLS OUR PROGRAM FOCUSES ON:

• ALPHABET AND LETTER SOUND CORRELATION
• PHONICS AND DECODING WORDS

• READING STRATEGIES
• COMPREHENSION

• LEVELED READERS & VOCABULARY WORDS
• ORAL READING FLUENCY
