The Read! Lead! Succeed! program dived into the new school year at Fath Lutheran School in North Palm this month. Students enhanced their social-emotional skills through literacy with books such as "I am Peace" by Susan Verde. They also got to use a variety of art mediums to explore their creativity as an extension of the stories they read. As they learned about mindfulness, they decorated stress relief squish toys and practiced breathing exercises to calm down and relax. The Read! Lead! Succeed! program promotes literacy, creativity, and self-awareness for K-5th grade youth. 🎨📕❤️ Read! Lead! Succeed! is made possible with support from Prime Time Palm Beach County, Inc., which receives significant funding from the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County, Inc. #prime_time_pbc #cscpbc #LiteracyPBC #LiteracyCoalitionofPBC #ReadLeadSucceed #Literacy #LeadingThroughReading #QualityOST #QualityAfterSchool #literacymatters #literacyforall #PalmBeachCounty #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #socialemotionallearning #PalmBeachSchoolDistrict #pbcsd #mindfulness #mindfulnessmatters #EmotionsMatter #selfawareness #listening #kindness #kindnessmatters #BeKind #motivational #positivevibes #positivity

About us
The mission of the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County is to improve the quality of life in our community by promoting and achieving literacy. Our goal is to ensure that every child and every adult in Palm Beach County becomes A READER. We Serve The mother who can't read a letter sent home by her daughter's teacher. The worker who claims he left his glasses at home rather than admit he can't read the instructions left by his boss. The preschool child who lives in a home that doesn't contain a single book. The family who lives in poverty because the parents don't have the literacy skills to qualify for a job that pays a family-sustaining wage. One in seven adults in Palm Beach County is unable to read and understand the information found in books, newspapers, magazines, brochures and manuals. Through extensive outreach and collaboration with a network of community partners, the Literacy Coalition strives to ensure that individuals who need to improve their literacy skills receive the help they need. In 2023-2023, the Literacy Coalition provided services to 55,967 adults, children and families through our programs.

Stories and STEM kicked off the school year at Hagen Ranch Road Elementary’s afterschool program. These 3rd graders are having a blast learning about everything from sound to microscopes. These youth have become particular fans of the graphic novel series "Squish" by Jennifer and Matthew Holm, which follows a “kid” like them who just happens to be an amoeba!

This month in the Read! Lead! Succeed! program, summer campers read "The Day You Begin" by Jacqueline Woodson and "I Like Myself" by Karen Beaumont. Children made puzzles and shared qualities about themselves that make them unique. The Read! Lead! Succeed! program promotes literacy, creativity and self-awareness for K-5th grade youth. Each session provides a creative art extension to the books that are read. 📚📕❤️ Read! Lead!
