The summer activity calendar features collaborative, hands-on literacy activities for you and your child. Activities like these promote the development of early literacy and language skills, allowing your child to grow their literacy skills outside of the classroom.
1st and 2nd-grade students at PS 17 Early Childhood Center enrolled in the @AARPFoundation Experience Corps program participated in STAR Reading assessments, conducted by Abt Global in early June.
Every day is National Read a Book Day at RTS!
Each child deserves to experience the love and joy that reading can bring.

Our tutor/mentors make lasting impacts on students’ academic and social-emotional growth by providing supportive, science-based, high-impact tutoring throughout the school year.
Check out today’s volunteer story!
Moira Maloney is a 1st-grade tutor/mentor at @PrimaryHall. During the structured session, students identify words that are tricky for them before reading. This gives the tutor/mentor an opportunity to give the correct pronunciation, allowing for fewer errors during reading.
In preschool, children are developing an understanding of quantity, size, and shape. In the UPK classroom at the Lighthouse Center, Ms. Charmaine makes understanding numbers both fun and meaningful to the children.
RTS Early Literacy Intervention Specialist Elizabeth Wilk conducted a training at Queen City Early Childhood Center on Foundations of Early Literacy: The Importance of Literacy Instruction for Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers.
