SEEDS Pre-K Reading Program
413 Learning Academy is a preschool daycare operated by and adjacent to One Love Christian Center in the Lackawanna neighborhood of Jacksonville. We are looking for volunteers who will commit to reading with children during the school day as part of the SEEDS reading program at the daycare
SEEDS (Standards-based Educational Experiences Delivery System) is a volunteer program designed by the Florida Institute of Education at the University of North Florida to increase the number of critical oral language and literacy skills young children experience. This is done by having SEEDS volunteers work with small groups of children for twenty minutes twice a week using a wide variety of books over an extended period of time. Each SEEDS session includes reading a children's book aloud and asking open-ended questions related to the content of the book. These experiences support and expand the skills children learn in the classroom under the leadership of the teacher. Background checks are required for all volunteers. Temperature checks and masks will be required when on-site at the daycare.
