Northern Kentucky Education Council

One to OneThis is a reading program under our Reduce Barriers to Learning goal. We have coaches who volunteer, in the schools, to work on reading skills with one child once a week. We provide a kit to each coach with games and tools needed for helping the students with reading. We serve 13 districts and 32 schools with this program. Our goal is to grow the program and serve possibly 500 students in our community. The students are not only working on their reading skills but also gaining a friend by the end of the school year. In 2021 we dropped from 150 coaches to 132 because of Covid-19. Our coaches are typically retired and some were concerned with going into the schools.
