What
is CORAL?
CORAL is dedicated to advancing literacy skills among local
elementary school students. The overall goal is to help those
students who are not reading at the correct grade level to
catch-up and become strong readers. To accomplish this, CORAL
focuses on The 100 Book Challenge along with other enrichment
activities that have literacy components.
CORAL
is open to students in grades
K-6 who live or attend school in the target neighborhoods of
Meadowview and the North Sacramento School District. Program space
is limited and each site has separate criteria for filling from
the waiting list. Preference is given to students who live in the
neighborhoods directly adjacent to each site. Students do not
necessarily need to attend a particular school to attend that
school’s CORAL program.
CORAL
also wants families and community members to be involved in
significant ways – by attending workshops and classes, leading
activities for kids, and helping to make program decisions during
monthly public meetings. Ultimately, each CORAL site aims to
develop into a center for community activity, a place where
everyone in the neighborhood can come together to support children
and their academic achievement.
CORAL
is run in partnership between the Center for Fathers and Families
and the Sacramento Children's Home
