CAR® Literacy Program
The CAR® Literacy Program was adapted by the Literacy Committee in 2003 using the creative concept originated by the Houston, Texas Alumnae Club. The program is designed to serve as a national/international literacy program that all Pi Beta Phi alumnae clubs and collegiate chapters can conduct easily. Targeting children in the 3rd grade who are at a critical juncture in developing both good reading skills and a life-long love of reading, CAR supplements reading activities already being provided in the schools and provides an easy-to-administer program for teachers. |
The CAR Program enables alumnae clubs and collegiate chapters to offer a turnkey reading enrichment program to their own schools and communities during a designated month of the school year and to provide incentives, including a recognition ceremony at the completion of the program. The program options are numerous.
The CAR Program can be used for one classroom or several, one time during the school year or repeated at a later time in the school year. It is specifically designed to complement other local literacy programs that are currently underway by a club or chapter.
The Fraternity has pre-packaged Classroom Packs that contain books, bookplates, bookmarks and medallions for twenty-five students. |
