It is hard to believe that another school year has come to an end. The end of the year is such an exciting time for all of us. As students complete end-of-year assessments, we get to see the amazing progress that they have made since entering YES Reading. We get to read the heartfelt thank you notes that students write to their tutors.

Student Recognition Events


Recognition Day
Students at Castro Elementary School

In May, all of our reading centers hosted year-end celebrations to honor the efforts and achievements of our students and to share their accomplishments with parents, tutors, and community members.  All YES Reading students were recognized for their improvements, with special recognition given to those students who will be moving on from their school, and our program, next year.  Site Directors also celebrated a successful year of Take Reading Home, YES Reading’s book giveaway program, by recognizing those students who read the most books during the school year. 

At the end of each Student Recognition, all attending students had the opportunity to select a book to take home and read over the summer.  For students who have struggled with reading and learning, celebrating success is crucially important.  We are so proud of the efforts made by all of our students during the 2005-06 school year.
