VIRTUAL READING PROGRAM OVERVIEW
In partnership with 2nd & 7 Foundation and our Reading Ambassador Rhone-Ann Huang, we have
implemented a virtual reading program for children. As part of 2nd & 7’s “Tackling Illiteracy”
program, and with the help of Zoom video conferencing, student-athletes will read with second-grade
students and discuss why reading and staying on top of schoolwork is essential.
This school year, the volunteer readers are student-athletes from Dartmouth University. The
books to be read are the “Hog Mollies” books, written by 2nd & 7. Each book is 30 pages and contains
a different important lesson and moral. There are 13 “Hog Mollies” books, and there will be
13 readings.
The virtual readings will be held two to three times a month on Mondays, with the exception of
holidays, starting on January 11, 2021, 4:30 pm EST.
All second-graders are welcome to join.
