Low reading achievement results in serious consequences on students’ college, career, and life readiness. According to the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), 71.4% of struggling readers reside in economically disadvantaged areas, 30.3% have disabilities, 4.6% English Language Learners, and over 50% attend high-needs schools. Studies show that students who are not proficient at reading by 3rd grade are three times more likely than their peers to not graduate on time. Speaking and listening come before reading and writing. In fact, oral language development is the foundation of written language and may be an early indicator of child’s ability in learning to read in write. Research suggests children begin with listening comprehension in grades Pre-K -5 and reading comprehension in grades 6-8 (ODE, 2020).


Our Mission

To help decrease the reading literacy and proficiency gap for students in grades 4th-8th. aMAYSing Kids Broadcasting Camp will improve poor literacy skills along with critical thinking, communication skills, and effective writing to get them back on track with their peers before they reach high school. 

Our Vision

To prepare our youth to contribute to the community and become successful in a changing society. Spark interest in college and career trades including broadcasting and journalism.
