This year's summer program takes us to #NorthShoreCommunityBaptistChurch in Beverly for 6 weeks for our all new #REALSTREAM2017. This little video shows one student signing in and showing his new buddies what is a #REAL part of the day. We all sign in as a #student, an #intern and as a #mentor.</span></div>

It was hard for parents to have conversations around books read at school with kids. Paper reading logs were either lost or arrived too late to have exciting conversations around books read and daily reading activities.. Also busy working parents were clueless on what books to buy/rent to engage their readers. All this was resulting in kids losing interest in reading and resorting to screen time and just dropping out of reading. Having worked in technology for 15 years, Vidya knows this problem can be solved through technology. With an easy to use mobile app, we can keep parents and educators (or any party interested in developing the child as a reader) up to date on reading activities so both parties can follow the child and their reading. Through the app, we can also push curated recommendations to parents and teachers so we can raise happy readers and support school systems in their mission for literacy. Readocity is a solution for school systems PreK-12 and is already adopted by a few schools as a tool for reading and literacy.</i>Anjamarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856757939137802868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683772057277940215.post-37763063522814553232017-03-11T18:37:00.001-08:002017-03-11T18:37:36.457-08:00#REAL Thanks Librarians<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.therealprogram.org/" target="_blank">#theREALProgram</a> #RosemaryWellsAuthorVisitTour was so successful today!

We have some exciting news! During this holiday season, we have been given the opportunity to purchase our rental home! It was unexpected and a complete surprise. With this, however come some consequences, good and bad, that we need to sort out. The good news is that we will be able to provide stability that is so vital to continue our growth and success here in our incredible home on Ocean St. This will mean more opportunity in the future for us to help and guide the wonderful children and their families that we work with and support. We can continue to provide books for all the children who need them; increase the time to help the parents with their desire to learn English giving their children a stronger family community tie. It means that we can work more days with the children year round. We will be able to work even more closely with the surrounding high schools and colleges providing a mentor program working with the children on their academics.</div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Here is the other consequence; the not so good. The time frame for this to happen is very short. We realize that if we can’t make this commitment, it would very difficult times ahead for us. Losing our home means that we may not be able to continue the program as we know it. We will not give up on our program and we are fighting to stay on track. If there is any way that you can help us in this endeavor, we would be “REALLY “grateful.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">August 28, 2016 Lynn,
MA</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> – The REAL Program invites you to
the Swanky REAL Night Out, to be held on Saturday, October 22nd<sup> </sup>from
6:00 p.m.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to 10:00 p.m. at Glen Urquhart
School in Beverly. A REAL Night Out features a live and silent auction, food
from Kelly’s Roast Beef, music from the Pocket Change Trio, and a REAL life
performance. The REAL Program (Reading~Educational Assistance~Learning) is a
501(c)3 organization based in Lynn that strives to improve literacy through its
after school educational programs for children in grades K-5 as well as through
its book collection and food distribution campaign.<span style="mso-font-kerning: .5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">According to founder Jan
Plourde, “The gap between what the teachers can do and what the families can do
is vast. That is where The REAL Program comes in. We are like the extended
family for these children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kevin Carey, president of
the board of directors of The REAL Program, noted author/poet and English
professor at Salem State University says, “This group of people gets things
done. That is why I like it.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In Lynn, a city that
100,000 people call home, there are 56 languages spoken. There are 18 public
elementary schools and only one public library. Most of the schools do not have
school libraries due to the need for classroom space. Only 50% of the children
in Lynn attend preschool before they enter kindergarten. The needs of these
children are apparent, and the REAL Program works to address them by providing
books, food, and homework help for children as well as English language
tutoring for their parents in a safe and caring environment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The REAL Program’s
activities are made possible through a service-learning model designed to
provide meaningful volunteer opportunities for retired teachers and
professionals and quality service-learning opportunities for high school and

I </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18.666666666666664px; white-space: pre-wrap;">imagined that I was going to be assigned one kid only to help them with homework if needed; read with them, and play games. As you know everything doesn’t go as imagined. On the first day Jan introduced other interns and myself to other adults there and to some of the kids. I also remember Jan telling me “now go find a kid who wants to do homework, read, or play. And I said to myself “oh okay, that’s it”. Then I thought “okay now this hard, how am I going to find one kid to play with, and how am I going to approach a kid what if they don’t like me”. But then I just went for it and I began to play with a little three year old boy named Adrian. Although he really didn’t talk, like, literally didn’t talk, he nodded to my questions so there was some type of communication and, with that little bit, I felt welcomed. I am pretty sure we both had fun together that day because at the end of the day he gave me a high five and nodded yes to my question if he had fun with me</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18.666666666666664px; white-space: pre-wrap;">that day. From that day on I knew that I was going to love <a href="http://www.therealprogram.org/" target="_blank">The REAL Program.</a> Everyday I went I met a new kid and every single one of those kids welcomed me to learn and play with them. Being with a bunch of different kids you are bound to think there is definitely one that is my favorite. Well that not true, I can’t have a favorite kid because each and everyone of those kids are beautiful individuals. They all have big different personalities that I absolutely adore. I can’t forget the adults who also give the open and welcomed atmosphere. They do not only care about the kids they care for everyone. Now officially being apart if this program it makes me sad to think that this season is almost ending because I am going to be leaving a family of friends. But it will not be the end of <a href="http://www.therealprogram.org/" target="_blank">The REAL Program</a> days.</span></div>

This summer Mabel is an intern with us at <a href="http://www.therealprogram.org/" target="_blank">The REAL Program</a> and we could not be happier! Today is Mabel's birthday! Happy Birthday to YOU.</span></div>

<li><span style="font-size: large;">There is only one public library for nearly 100,000 residents in Lynn, MA.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">There are 18 public elementary schools and only 7 have dedicated school libraries or librarians.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">There are no book stores.</span></li>
