MOULTRIE — Boys & Girls Clubs of Moultrie-Colquitt County continued its reading program during summer camp, integrating Summer Brain Gain curriculum that is designed to prevent summer learning loss and foster critical creative-thinking skills. Club members who participate in the reading program demonstrate improvement in their comprehension, concentration and writing abilities.

Staff member Gene Skillingstad facilitates the reading program, working with members ranging from ages 5-11.

“Reading is fundamental,” Skillingstad said. “If you take the fun out of it, all you have left is ‘da-mental.’ I thank God I have been given the opportunity to be part of the learning process for these  wonderful children.
