Program Information
About the Literacy Project
The goal of Oregon AITC’s Agricultural Literacy Project is to improve both the reading and agricultural literacy of Oregon students in grades K-4. Each year a new agriculturally-themed book is chosen and a lesson is developed that reinforces the message of the book.
How it Works
If the teacher selects the option to have a volunteer present the project, volunteers will work with the classroom teacher to schedule times to read to students grades K-4. Start to finish, the reading and lesson take 45 minutes. The program is FREE and all materials are completely prepared by Oregon Agriculture in the Classroom. Each participating classroom receives a copy of the book.
If the teacher prefers to present this project to their students themselves. Oregon Agriculture in the classroom will mail all materials a copy of the book for the class to keep.
