Readers for Tomorrow W.R.A.P, is a program designed to help
teens deal with the issues of growing up in today's society
one situation at a time. The pressures of drugs and alcohol,
peer pressure, gang activities, teen pregnancy, school and
home life can be the cause of serious problems for our girls.
Readers for Tomorrow seeks to aid youth and teens with these
issues and others through the help of trained professionals.
The student can write a mini-novel on herself or other people
in their community.
It also teaches how to start a daily journal through poetry
written by the individual. Readers for Tomorrow are young
girls who want to be Authors. This group is a diverse group
of young girls soon to be women from Metropolitan area; who
bring the voices of girls to life. The group discuss about
Life, Friendships, and sisterhood. They meet and share information
with other groups of girls and young women across the country
and work toward positive change with other girls and the community.
Readers for Tomorrow, part of the SoTYF " S.T.A.R.S.
" Student Trying Achieve Respect and Success initiative,
It’s designed to transform existing early education
programs into centers of excellence that provide high-quality,
early education to young children, especially those from low-income
families. The overall purpose of the Readers for Tomorrow
Program is to prepare young girls with the necessary language,
cognitive, and early reading skills to prevent reading difficulties
and ensure school success. The purpose of the program is to
encourage girls to read; enhancing and developing literacy
and communication skills. We also encourage parents, teachers,
staff members and community members to read actively with
the girls. Readers for Tomorrow programs are one of the best
bargains around! They are offered free of charge to all girls.
Moms are encouraged to participate as well.
“If we could effectively communicate to our children
the struggle that we have endured and at the same time hoping
that they would learn from our mistakes, there’s the
possibility that they might enjoy a more fulfilling life,”
says President & CEO, of Stars of Tomorrow Youth Foundation.
Through poetry these young women will be enlightened and encouraged
to improve their self-esteem and self-image. Katrina Moore
is a poet, author and motivational speaker. Mrs. Moore has
been teaching poetry and creative writing and self-empowerment
workshops for the past two years and writing for ten years.
Included in this seminar for the first time, will be the new
book, “Changing Your Thinking” that will guide
the reader step by step and on their way to better a healthier
self esteem.
