Empowering Young Readers through The Read Team

The Read Team, a local literacy coaching program is making a significant impact on the community by fostering a love for reading and improving literacy skills among children in Jackson-Madison County. Two of our administrative team, Pam Stanfield and Elizabeth Atkins, have been actively involved as literacy coaches since the fall. Each donated an hour a week working on literacy skills with 2nd graders selected through The Read Team program.

“My involvment with the Read Team program has been such a blessing in my life. There is nothing quite like helping a child lay the foundation for such a critical life skill and watching their confidence grow each week,” said Pam Stanfield.

If you would like to join Pam, Elizabeth, and the Read Team in their mission to transform lives through the power of reading - volunteer your time, donate books, or contribute resources to help expand the program’s reach and impact. Together, we can continue fostering a love for reading and empowering the next generation of learners in Jackson.
