Once Early-Reading Program's Work in Sumter, South Carolina featured on WISTV

Reading is the foundation for learning — and in Sumter County, a new early literacy program is helping the district’s youngest students build stronger reading and writing skills. The ONCE Program, now underway at several elementary schools, focuses on helping kindergarten and first-grade students connect the sounds they hear with the letters they see on the page — an essential building block for early literacy.
