Early literacy camp helps Toledo students engage with reading
In a single year, Ian Oliver went from needing early literacy intervention to being toward the top of his first-grade class in reading ability. He was able to make this transition with the help of Read for Literacy, said his mother, Ashley Oliver. “I noticed that Ian was struggling in some areas,” Ms. Oliver said. “Read for Literacy was helping with his confidence. He was kind of shy, but it really brought him out of that. I also know he improved his reading. At school, I noticed that he started picking up books.” Read for Literacy is a local organization that works to increase literacy skills in Lucas, Wood, Defiance, Henry, and Fulton counties. The organization runs a free early literacy camp in the summer, funded by the city of Toledo, to provide students ages 4 to 8 with the skills they need to be successful in school.

UT sees positives in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Lab
The University of Toledo is pleased by how a new research partnership with California’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is going. Though that particular one was created by a signed agreement in November, UT also has had some informal experience working with other national laboratories for years, said Frank Calzonetti, UT vice president for research. One example is the longstanding informal relationship between UT photovoltaic (solar panel) researchers and the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., he said. Others include a memorandum of understanding signed in 2019 with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee to work together on designing next-generation materials for the auto industry. It also has worked with or has exchange agreements with the Idaho National Laboratory, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash.
