The Reading Group

Welcome to The Reading Group, one of EmpoweredUth, EduConnect (EUEC)’s most cherished and long-standing programs. With extensive experience and a deep passion for literature, The Reading Group has become the pride of our organization, fostering a love of reading and learning among students in grades 1-8. It’s more than just a group—it’s a community where young minds thrive through shared stories, creativity, and exploration.

Why The Reading Group?

The Reading Group holds a special place at EUEC, not only because it was our first program but also because it has continuously grown to offer enriching experiences for young learners. Over the course of five structured classes, students explore books together, participate in interactive learning activities, and build lifelong skills in a fun and engaging way.

  • The Reading Group was where it all started for EUEC. With our deep commitment to nurturing young minds, we have refined it into one of our most successful and impactful offerings.

  • Each class is a group experience where students collaborate, share insights, and support one another through discussions, creative projects, and performances.

  • The program typically runs over five sessions, with each class focusing on a new aspect of the book or activity, allowing students to fully immerse themselves in the material.
