CLEMSON – The music that is usually heard inside Clemson’s indoor practice facility usually has the familiar strains of rock or rap, but a different set of songs echoed throughout the building Wednesday as 250 elementary school students from across the state listened to Baby Shark and other children’s favorites as part of the Tigers Read! Initiative.
Now in its ninth year, the Tigers Read! Initiative is organized by Dabo’s All In Team Foundation, faculty from the Clemson University College of Education and Scholastic, the global children’s publishing, education and media company.
Students from across the state—as far away as Darlington County - lined up outside the gates to receive books and learn how to combat the “summer slide,” which is the decline in reading skills that many students experience during the summer months.
