Praise Production Association Inc.
Read to Succeed / Music to Learn
In 2000, Diane T. Bailey established Praise Production Association Inc. We are a 501(c)(3) site-based non-profit organization. Our programs aim to help children, youth, and adults overcome low literacy rates, provide reading and writing skills, provide a cost-effective learning method for underserved communities, and build self-esteem, self-image, a positive attitude, a desire for excellence, cooperation, and group cohesiveness through our mentoring program and the ability to set goals with a ready-to-work emphasis on improving one's own life.
We successfully achieved our program's goal in the New York City area while maintaining high standards. In March 2017, I retired and relocated to Concord, North Carolina. As a result, we had to discontinue our program in New York. Residing in North Carolina, I have found that there is a great need for our Praise Production Program in the culturally and financially diverse area of Concord, North Carolina, and its surrounding county. My goal is to serve Cabarrus County and the Charlotte area of North Carolina to help raise student performance in reading and language arts in the classroom as well as on standardized tests.
Praise Production will consist of the following programs:
1. Read & Rise & D.O.R.A.
Our primary literacy program, D.O.R.A.-Develop Our Reading Ability, is implemented under the Read & Rise banner. Through structured reading cohorts, writing instruction, and supportive mentoring—complemented by our enrichment workshops—we help every participant build the confidence to unlock their full potential.
2. Praise in Motion (D.O.M.A.)
Develop Our Music Abilities: Piano, Vocal, and Praise Dance As an added benefit and reward for our hard-working students, artistic training is available exclusively to participants registered in our core Read & Rise / D.O.R.A. reading program.
3. skill of writing by hand (penmanship-handwriting/cursive)
