Summer Reading Club planned at library
"Kids who read succeed." And
reading is what we will be doing at
the Mauney Library this summer.
Not only will we provide opportu-
nities for individual reading during
the Summer Reading Club, but we
will also provide tutoring for those
children who have difficulty with
reading and need extra help in de-
veloping their skills. Tutoring will
be available for groups or for indi-
viduals, and will be scheduled at
the convenience of the students
and the tutors.
Many children do not enjoy
reading because it is difficult for
them. Yet reading is fundamental
"to all other learning in the academ-
ic setting. The child who cannot
. read will not be able to understand
i science, social studies, language
: arts, or math. As he struggles to
: master the skills necessary for
reading, he becomes more and
; more frustrated and falls further
: and further behind with the passing

a va
years. He is plagued with a sense
of inadequacy and associates learn-
ing and reading with failure. His
self esteem suffers as he sees other
children move ahead while he is
lost and does not know what is go-
ing on. Some children try to with-
draw into a shell, and still others
scorn anything related to reading
and books. But underneath the in-
appropriate behavior is a sense of
failure, and shame at not being
able to keep up with his peers.
Children who do not learn how
to read in the primary grades are
potential dropouts, not only from
school, but from life. Many chil-
dren look forward to their sixteenth
birthday so they can quit school,
but their chances of finding an ade-
quate job and enjoying a fulfilling
- life are very slim. A lack of educa-
tion and poor reading skills are of-
ten factors in poverty, unemploy-
ment, drug abuse, homelessness.
"As our society becomes more and
more comp
lex it becomes more and more es-
sential to know how to read in or-
der to function at a rudimentary
level. We cannot shop for gro-
ceries, eat out at a restaurant, or do
any number of ordinary, every day
tasks without knowing how to
read.
Fortunately a child does not
have to remain handicapped by his
inability to read. With extra help
and special tutoring this summer at
the Mauney Library and some
practice reading on his own, he
will be able to catch up t his grad
level. As reading becomes easier it
will become more enjoyable and
he will be able to enter into a
whole new world through the
printed page. He will also find his
other subjects more comprehensi-
ble when he goes back to school in
August.
Reading is fun, but only if you
can read. No child needs to be de-
nied the pleasure of reading this -
summer. Call the Mauney Library,
at 739-2371, for additional infor-
mation, or fill out an application at
the circulation desk. Mrs. Luise
Sanders will coordinate the pro-
“gram. Parents are urged to register
their children who have reading
problems for the special free tutor-
ing program at the library by June
1. Don't be left out this summer.
