We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new radio segment, Let’s READ, on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG. Starting today, Saturday, January 6, 2024, from noon to 3 pm CST, Let’s READ aims to promote the significance of reading for establishing a solid foundation.

In our inaugural segment, we are excited to feature an interview with Dr. Angela K. Chambers and Author Mr. Troy J. Petit, Sr. Mr. Petit, who has written the inspiring book “Hugs of Love,” serves as an important role model for the children in Tulsa Public Schools and the wider community of Tulsa. During the interview, Mr. Petit will share his passion for writing and the impact it can have on young minds.

Let’s READ is an initiative that addresses the root causes of academic challenges faced by students in middle school, high school, and later in life. We understand that various factors can contribute to students not performing well in school. However, by fostering a culture of reading and promoting comprehension, we can lay a strong foundation for students to excel.

Let’s READ leverages the power of radio to promote reading and comprehension. We invite volunteers to join us on air and help create a community where reading is a priority. By dedicating your time to reading on the radio, you can make a significant difference in the lives of young learners.
