The focus of GSGBC’s Academic Support and Assistance Program is to ensure that all of GSGBC’s members read on grade level by the end of third grade. If a child achieves this, they have a better than 90% chance of graduating from high school. All academic programs focus on increasing kids’ reading, writing, and math skills. The Club’s Learning Specialists are all Missouri Certified Educators with at least two years of teaching experience. Staff provides daily homework assistance.
Homework Assistance
Academic enrichment (an extra assignment that will expand on academic skills already developed) and homework assistance is available Monday through Friday. Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 45 minutes is reserved for homework. GSGBC staff and volunteer college students are available to help with homework. If a student does not have homework, an enrichment activity is provided.
Homework is important because it:
• Builds initiative in students
• Produces a sense of responsibility and accomplishment
• Develops time management
• Encourages self-discipline
• Gives students a chance to learn from their mistakes and continue to improve
• Allows students to engage in their learning
• Builds positive work habits
Blueprint for Reading Success
We tutor our members in 2nd grade through Fourth who need extra help. Individualized tutoring plans are created for each child based on the results of the student’s pre-test and grades.
