Leadership Council’s 3rd Annual Fall Event: The Art of Reading

Art of ReadingOn November 9, the Leadership Council will host a celebration of Read Alliance’s expanded Literacy & Arts program. The event, appropriately called "The Art of Reading" will take place at James Graham & Sons gallery and will feature artwork created by Read Alliance students, an open bar, light hors d’oeuvres, raffle, and a short presentation on art and literacy from Rosa Lofgren, a teacher from PS279X who worked with the program.

The approach to learning taken in our Literacy & Arts program empowers struggling readers to write and speak confidently through group reading sessions, discussions, and the arts. This past summer, more than 225 students were able to participate! For many, the Literacy & Arts program provided them with their very first art-making experiences.

The Leadership Council, which is made up of New York City professionals from diverse industries, including education, finance, marketing, psychology, accounting, and consulting, has put many hours of love and dedication into making this event possible. The Leadership Council supports Read Alliance's mission to improve the educational trajectory of at-risk kindergarten and first grade students through one-to-one tutoring in basic reading skills, while also providing more NYC teen tutors with meaningful entry into the workforce.

A single eucrrnt A single eucrrnt newspaper contains more written and visual information than the average person in the 17th century was likely to come across in their entire lifetime. Funny that a video about information literacy includes such an unsubstantial claim. Is this really true? What counts as visual information? Doesn't that encompass more than text and pictures? I'm sure an average person then knew more about a horse than the average person does today.

Dr. Gary,I would agree with the above comadments by Sam. I puradchased both the spring and the urhsputt webiadnars and its refreshading to be able to obtain so much usable inforadmaadtion at a reaadsonadable cost. Both Webiadnars go from A to Z on the setups and the fact that they are all based on what the maradket is telling us as opposed to some indiadcaadtor makes it more powaderadful, in my opinadion. After view the webiadnars I would study charts and would see spings and urhsputt all over the place. I look foradward to utiadlizading what I’ve learned.David Rapp
