We are very fortunate to have a wonderful group of adult volunteers who come to school every Thursday morning to read with first graders. Some are senior citizens, some are 1st grade parents, and some are community members who just love helping kids. Each class has an assigned time, so the volunteers read for 20 minutes with four different groups of children in about an hour and a half. They are amazed at the progress these little readers have made already! The kids really look forward to Thursdays!
Sometimes the volunteer reads to the child.
Sometimes the kids read to the volunteer.
Some parents even bring their pre-schooler along to share in the reading time.
So many good books, so little time! It's hard to quit after just 20 minutes.
Reading is so much fun!
Thanks, volunteers!
