Credibility through reporting outcomes

Another reason to report outcomes is that when you include outcomes, your report gains credibility. Below you can read the original report and an enhanced version of the same report. The additions are highlighted in green.

Washington Public Library is pleased to celebrate the end of our summer “Read Along with Me” program. The RAM program brought together children and their parents for weekly book discussions during July and August.

We all know how special the parent-child bond is. Children love doing things with their parents. Reading is important too! It is fundamental to how well children do in school.

WPL is happy to have brought this opportunity to the parents and children of our community.

Washington Public Library is pleased to celebrate the end of our summer “Read Along with Me” program. The RAM program brought together over 20 third and fourth graders, and 30 fifth and sixth graders, along with their parents, for weekly book discussions during July and August.
           
We all know how special the parent-child bond is. Children love doing things with their parents. Reading is important too! It is fundamental to how well children do in school.

At the end of August, most of our parents reported that their children had read even more than the four books that each group discussed over the summer. Last year, when we contacted parents in the fall after the family had participated in the program, they said their children’s teachers had noticed improved reading skills, and for a few children, their grades had gone up. The children themselves, too, said they had fun both reading, and spending time with their fathers or mothers.
           
WPL is happy to have brought this opportunity to the parents and children of our community.
