A program called “Kids Write and Create” pairs Temple speech/language pathology students with students at the chronically low-performing Frederick Douglas School in North Philadelphia. Started by Rena Krakow, associate professor of communication sciences and disorders at Temple University, the goal is to enhance comfort with print for kids from low-income families. Scores on the Test of Early Childhood Reading Ability show a significant increase in skills for children involved in the program.
