The Ivy Reading AKAdemy
The Signature Program of Alpha Kappa Alpha
We are, delighted to bring the power and support of Alpha Kappa Alpha’s 170,000 college-educated members to support the “No Child Left Behind” initiative. The Ivy Reading AKAdemy is the signature program of Alpha Kappa Alpha for President Linda White’s administration. This program provides research-based, structured, one-to-one tutoring in reading for children in grades 1-3 in after school settings across the country. Soror Peggy Lubin is our National Ivy Reading AKAdemy Director. Each of the 925 chapters is expected to implement an Ivy Reading AKAdemy program.
In 2002 we received our initial $500,000 grant from the Department of Education to fund the 9 Ivy Reading AKAdemy demonstration sites that serve as a model for our other 918 chapters across the country.
We thank Secretary Rod Paige and the Department of Education for this first year of support to “Put Reading First”.
The Ivy Reading AKAdemy is not just in the 9 demonstration sites serving our 233 children. All of our 925 chapters are expected to implement an Ivy Reading AKAdemy program. We are reaching a very conservative minimum of 3000 children across the country; we are touching more than 6500 parents and we are involved with more than 1620 public school teachers. Chapter program chairmen should submit their data on-line by December 31st of this year.
As far as the focus of our work
•
We provide scientifically-based reading instructions for young children
•
We serve as an advocate for the No Child Left Behind Act by building community awareness and parental involvement
By the end of the three-year grant period, it is anticipated that AKA volunteers collaborating with various community agencies and having strong family and community support services in addition to one-to-one mentoring will have substantial positive effects on the performance of our nation’s most at-risk children.
All of these scientifically-based evaluation strategies will be used to provide sound research data to show how effectively managed and trained volunteers can have a major impact in improving the reading skills of our nation’s most at-risk children.
Alpha Kappa Alpha is committed to working to ensure that No Child Will Be Left Behind.

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND
How No Child Left Behind Benefits African Americans
“President Bush and I believe education is a civil right and No Child Left Behind fulfills that promise by extending educational equality to all Americans.” - U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige
In the past, too many African American students have been shortchanged by our nation’s schools.
■
According to the most recent data, by the time African American students reach 12th grade, only one in six can read proficiently and only 3% are proficient in math.
■
In the greatest country in the world, we have created two education systems — separate and unequal. Some students are taught well while the rest - mostly poor and mostly minority — flounder or flunk out.
■
The “achievement gap” measuring the difference in academic achievement between white and African American students is large and has gone unaddressed for too long.
The bipartisan No Child Left Behind law is making sure schools are held accountable for the academic progress of every child, regardless of income, background, or race.
■
Because of No Child Left Behind, closing the achievement gap is now a national priority.
■
Schools are now held specifically accountable for the annual progress of African American students.
■
Schools must also have the same expectations for every child, meaning the soft bigotry of low expectations will no longer be tolerated.
School report cards provide parents with important information about the performance of their child’s school.
■
No Child Left Behind requires states and school districts to give parents easy-to-read, detailed report cards on schools and districts, telling them which ones are succeeding and why.
When schools don’t make the grade, parents must be offered the option of sending their children to a different public school.
■
Schools that don't meet state standards for two years in a row are identified as “in need of improvement” and parents must be offered the option of sending their children to another public school in the district.
■
Students must also be provided with transportation to the new school.
Low-income students in schools in need of improvement may also qualify for free tutoring.
■
Schools that don’t meet state standards for a third year in a row must also offer free tutoring or other academic enrichment services to low-income students.
No Child Left Behind encourages parents to get involved in improving their child’s school.
■
When a school is found to be in need of improvement, school officials are reguired to work with parents, school staff, the local education agency, and outside experts to develop a plan to turn the school around.
■
Under No Child Left Behind, schools must develop strategies to promote effective parental involvement in the school.
Never before in history has a President invested so much in education.
■
President Bush and Congress are investing more in education than at any point in history.
■
Total K-12 federal spending has already gone up $6.4 billion, or 37 percent, under No Child Left Behind.
■
Title I funding, targeted to low-income students, has already increased $2.9 billion, or 33 percent, under No Child Left Behind.

Improving the reading and writing skills of young children is a major goal of this administration. To address this concern, Alpha Kappa Alpha, in partnership with the Metropolitan Teaching and Learning Company (Metro, a publishing company in New York) is implementing the Young Authors Program. Children in second through sixth grades have the opportunity to write and illustrate a book for competition at the local, regional and Boule levels.
Over 250 chapters winners have been received.
Each Program Committee Representative has convened a panel of judges and selected two winners in the 2-3 grade category and two in the 4-6 grade category to submit for national competition to the National Program Committee chairman on August 30, 2003.
A national panel ofjudges will be convened and a winner from each region (total of ten) in the 2-3 grade category and a winner from each region (total of ten) in the 4-6 grade category will be selected by November 1, 2003 to have their work published in two anthologies by Metro.
Regional winners will be introduced at Regional Conferences.
The official book signing for national winners will take place in 2004 at Alpha Kappa Alpha’s Boule in Nashville, TN where over 8000 members are expected to attend. Additionally, winners will receive $250.00.
Sorors will have the opportunity to reserve books at your 2004 Regional Conferences.
The Young Authors Anthology will be released during the Boule.
Chapters may submit your next winners to your Regional Representative no later than April 30, 2005. Do not bind copies. A single individual may submit a compilation of poetry as a single entry. These winners will be recognized at Boule 2006.
Thank you, sorors, for the commendable support you have given to our creative leaders of tomorrow — our children! They're all winners because of YOU!

Mother’s Day Greeting Cards
Mothms^BIay
The 2004 Mother's Day Greeting Card initiative will be sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHE)) of the National Institutes of Health and its SIDS (Sadden Infant Death Syndrome) Back to Sleep Campaign. It is important for us to note that SIDS is a major cause of death for infants that are one month to one year old. It affects infants and families of all populations. Over the last 10 years, there has been a dramatic decline in the number of infant deaths related to SIDS. Before the launch of the NICHD's Back to Sleep Campaign in 1994, this devastating syndrome cost the lives of more than 5, 000 babies in the United States every year. Based on research that shows stomach sleeping as a major risk factor for SIDS, the Back to Sleep campaign promotes placing babies on their backs to reduce the risk of SIDS. There has been a steady increase in babies sleeping on their backs since the campaign began to reach parents, grandparents, childcare providers, and other caregivers across the country with the SIDS risk reduction messages. Today, the number of SIDS deaths has been reduced to about 2,500 per year, a 50 percent decline.
Despite the overall success of this campaign in reducing the incidence of SIDS, challenges still remain. The SIDS rate among African. American, infants is still greater than the rate of white infants. The NICHD has recognized the need to dose this gap by focusing outreach efforts in communities of color across the country.
Alpha Kappa Alpha has been delighted to be a partner in this important journey to help reduce the risk of SIDS in African- American communities. If you are interested in disseminating more information regarding SIDS in your community, you may call 1-800-505-CRIB. ' "
ifnmfEB w im f aEEimii mri4 rm
The Mother's Day greeting card, distribution initiative will target female family members of the AKA membership and mothers of children under one year of age. In collaboration with NICHD, Mother's Day greeting cards will be created to have a Mother's Day sentiment on the inside right side of the card and the left inside cover will contain information regarding SIDS reduction strategies. Over 100,000 cards will be created to accommodate the AKA membership. Each chapter will receive enough cards to give each member two cards. These cards should be given to sorors in your April chapter meetings and be mailed prior to Mother's Day. ’The success of this initiative will allow the sorority to reach more than 90,000 women at the same time. Sorors can send one card to any member of their family but one card should be expressly sent to a mother of an infant under the age of one.

Alpha Kappa Alpha/ierrilI Lynch Partnership
“INVESTING PAYS OFF”
www.ml.com/Dhilaiithropy
Alpha Kappa Alpha is certainly delighted to welcome our new program partner Merrill Lynch. As you probably know, Merrill Lynch is one of the world's leading financial management and advisory companies. We announced our partnership at the 2003 Leadership Seminar in Las Vegas. Alpha Kappa Alpha will designate 3-5 pilot chapters that volunteered at the Leadership Seminar to partner with a Merrill Lynch representative to implement activities such as financial literacy projects for youth, assistance with investment clubs or any activity agreed upon by the two parties. Mr. Keith Henry, Director of Multicultural and Diversified Business Development for Merrill Lynch is working with the Program committee to develop this exciting project.
Additionally, we are encouraging all chapters to utilize the "Investing Pays Off" (IPO) curriculum developed by Merrill Lynch to implement Youth Financial Literacy Projects. The IPO aims to prepare young people by arming them with the knowledge essential to financial and career success. You can find this IPO curriculum on-line by going to www.ml.com/philanthropy.
The Investing Pays Off Curriculum can be presented as a stand-alone 45-minute session or as a part of a 15-series program. We suggest that you consider the IPO curriculum for the following:
•
Utilize one session for your FASHIONETTA workshops
•
Utilize one session for your Beautillion or other sessions with a group of young men
•
Utilize the series during your investment club seminars for young people
•
Suggest one or two of the sessions for use with your church youth group
•
Incorporate one or more sessions in any program you are doing in your chapter for young people
Once you have completed one session or the any part of the 15-part series, please let the program committee know about your use of the Investing Pays Off curriculum by completing the on-line Youth Financial Literacy Report.
Boule Recognition
The National Program Committee will be recognizing all chapters who utilize the Investing Pays Off Curriculum at the Boule. We are in negotiations with Merrill Lynch regarding the kind of recognition we will give. There is a possibility that several chapters will receive a financial contribution from Merrill Lynch for participating in the project. You will get more information at your Regional Conferences.
