Students often let their reading skills slide in the summer, but not if The Salvation Army’s Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Dayton, Ohio, has anything to say about it.
The popular Read and Feed program is back this summer with seven Monday events scheduled at the city’s Stuart Patterson Park. Families can come together for a free lunch and book giveaway, and each week, a featured guest will read the spotlighted book.
This year’s events are June 3, 10, 17, and 24, and July 8, 15, and 22. About 15 to 20 people came out for each Read and Feed day last year, including a growing number of immigrants from Turkey, Africa, and the Latino world.
Representatives from the Dayton Fire Department will read Firefighters Are Heroes! and the Dayton Police Department plans to present We Don’t Eat Our Classmates, a book about bullying.
