“Reading Rockets in the Time of COVID-19” is a continuation of the Reading Rockets volunteer reading program of the Marshes of Glynn Libraries (MOGL) that has been supported and sponsored by SSI Rotary through its Literacy Committee for 10 years. This year, Reading Rockets will be modified to meet the unusual circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic. Volunteer readers will make YouTube videos instead of reading in person in Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms. We will explore having volunteers read to the kids by a phone or Zoom call. SSI Rotary will provide books to be awarded to children in Glynn County who participate in the “1000 Books Before Kindergarten” challenge to kids to read more books. A child will receive a book for every 50 books that he or she reads. If circumstances allow by Spring of 2021, we will read in person in the classrooms, we will celebrate with a year-end gathering of volunteers and teachers who have been involved with Reading Rockets, and we will have year-end celebrations with the kids in the classrooms where we read and will give the kids their Reading Rockets buttons and a book to take home for the summer. We will collaborate with the Glynn County Schools, MOGL, Head Start, the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Georgia, and The Children’s Reading Foundation of Georgia, Inc. (Linda Muir is the president of CRF-GA as well as the Chair of the SSI Rotary Literacy Committee Chair. No grant funds will be given to CRF-GA, which will provide flyers to enclose with the books to encourage parents to read with their children 20 minutes every day.)
