Are you a computer whiz or creative genius?
Preppy is always looking for creative adults and teens to make this site better and more informative. Make a video, create a slideshow, or write an inspirational post.
I'm Preppy Readingfrog, host and mascot of the Portland Reading Excellence Program. PREP began in the fall of 2006 as an effort to improve the educational aspirations and achievements of our younger Neighborhood House members.
We presently have 40 pre-K through 6th grade children involved in PREP. Volunteer tutors can visit our center Monday through Thursday and work one on one with the children in the afternoon and early evening. We read to children who are not yet literate and read with children who are already reading. Tutors also work simple math exercises and review elementary math concepts like counting, addition, and subtraction with the children.
The blog posts to your left are in reverse chronological order. If you want to learn more about PREP and how you can help, scroll to the lowest post (some may be in archives) and read them from oldest to newest(-:
