Nearly one in five children have dyslexia. Since 1980, the Settlement has been offering tutoring programs for children with dyslexia. These tutoring programs include an After-School Tutoring Program, a Summer Tutoring Program, and classroom-based pro- grams in local public schools through the Reading Lab Partnership and recently launched ReadingCorps. In addition, we provide dyslexia information, training, and support to the parents, tutors, and teachers of children who learn differently.

AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORING PROGRAM The After-School Tutoring Program is offered on our histor- ic campus in Hindman and at four community sites through- out eastern Kentucky and, in response to physical distancing guidelines, virtually through our online platform. Students meet with tutors for 2 hours after school on one or two eve- nings each week for 15 weeks during both the fall and spring semesters. The program is implemented by Settlement tutors and, when possible, by parent volunteers who are trained by school staff to deliver our evidence-based curriculum.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Kelsey Kelsey, a self-described army brat, was constantly on the move until age ten. Kelsey lived in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kansas, Kentucky, and Indiana before her family settled in Pennsylvania. However, Kelsey’s wanderlust had already developed by the time they made it to Pennsylvania and, after finishing her degree in Anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania, her nomadic lifestyle took her out of the states to teach English in Argentina and South Africa.

Regretfully, Kelsey’s travels were cut short by Coronavirus, but it did not stop her from pursuing her passion for teaching. Kelsey, recognizing the misfortune as an opportuni- ty, decided to find her way to the Hindman Settlement School. However, this was not just a new discovery of a new place; it was a rediscovery of her familial roots.

Since getting her feet back on Kentucky soil, she’s been serving as a ReadingCorps tutor, enjoying long hikes in all the beautiful places from her grandfather’s stories, and watching the local birds frequent her porch feeder while she sips from a hot cup of coffee. Although rooted in the hollers and hills of Hindman for the moment, Kelsey still harbors ardor for the world on the other side of the Appalachian Mountains. She still loves to explore things outside of her comfort zone, learning new skills, and traversing the caveats of different cultures while trying her best to see as much of the world as she can.

Are you looking for a service year opportunity? Hindman Settlement School is continually recruiting motivated, qualified individuals to serve as ReadingCorps Members. To discuss opportunities, contact Jordan Collins at [email protected].

Keeping people mindful of their heritage has always been a significant compo- nent of Hindman Settlement School’s educational philosophy. We’re proud of our strong and colorful history. As a result, we develop and maintain cultural heritage and traditional arts programs focused on honoring and passing along these traditions. These well-known programs promote education and story sharing, allowing us to tell the history of central Appalachia in vibrant and unique ways.

Residencies included Native American arts at Hindman Elementary with Randy Shepherd, painting at Beaver Creek Elementary with Grace Henderson, traditional singing at Jones Fork Elementary with Jon Pickow, metalworking with Jill Robertson at Carr Creek Elementary, poetry with Emi- ly Hudson at Cordia School, and singing with Debbie Tuggle Pendley at Emmalena Elementary. Students in our dyslexia summer program also took part in daily virtual arts experiences through this project. These residenices offered new opportunities for students to explore artistic mediums through the talents of local artists. Sarah Kate Morgan started her mu- sical journey at 7 years old when she was introduced to old-time music through a dulcimer that her grandfa- ther built. From there, she has gone on to develop a uniquely intricate and virtuosic style inspired by the tradi- tional Appalachian music she grew up with in rural East Tennessee. She recently graduated from Morehead State University with degrees in Tradi- tional Music, Appalachian Studies, and Arts Administration. AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: Annette The latest release from Fireside Industries, the Hindman Settlement School’s literary imprint with the University Press of Kentucky, is Even As We Breathe by debut novelist Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle, an alumna of the Appalachian Writers’ Workshop and the first author of the Eastern Band of Indians published by a major press. Even As We Breathe was named one of the best books of 2020 by National Public Radio.

Annettee holds degrees from Yale University and the College of William and Mary. Her work Going to Water won the Morning Star Award for Creative Writing from the Native American Literature Symposium and was a finalist for the PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fic- tion. She is coeditor of the Journal of Cherokee Studies and serves on the board of trustees for the North Carolina Writers’ Network.

Lee Smith, bestselling author and longtime friend of Hindman shared, “[Annette] lifts the cur- tain to show us a South we don’t know, revealed through the struggles of Cowney Sequoyah, a young man growing up within the Cherokee Nation of far Western North Carolina, and yet another surprise setting when he takes a job at Asheville’s fabled Grove Park Inn while it is being used by the US military as a place of internment for Axis prisoners of war during World War II. Even As We Breathe is a wonderful novel, complicated as life itself -- thrilling, mysterious, and finally, a revelation!”

From very humble beginnings with struggles to attract both vendors and customers, the market now has recruited vendors selling a wide array of products and has seen immense growth in our weekly customer base through enhanced digital adver- tising that showcases the vendors and the locally-produced items available.

The weekly market vendor base has grown to an average of 4 from 2.5 and an average of 68 customers, up from 43. We have seen value added products, coffee, honey, poultry, beef, herbs and vegetables this year, making it our most diverse market yet!

Shasta, a mother of two bright and bubbly young girls, has been frequenting the market throughout the season to take advantage of the Kentucky Double Dollars program, which enables her to double up to $20 on each market day for fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats.

“Being able to use our COVID SNAP card has allowed me to put fresh local food on my table, jars of can goods in my pantry, and filled my freezer,” Shasta said. “The SNAP benefits drew me to the farmers market for the first time and created a weekly routine of stopping by the market, conversing with friends, and in this crazy time feeling a sense of community.”
