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. D.O.R.A. Develop Our Reading Abilities: decoding fluency, vocabulary expansion, and critical comprehension.
2. D.O.M.A. Develop Our Music Abilities: Piano, Vocal, and Praise Dance Artistic training will be available only to students registered in the reading program.
3. skill of writing by hand (penmanship-handwriting/cursive)
