you so much. My volunteer made a wonderful, noticeable difference
in the life of a student who comes from a virtually illiterate
family. Now he loves to read and his reading has improved tremendously." |
"Ms.
A did an excellent job with students in the classroom. She has
a gentle, calm manner which encourages cooperation and attention."

program is a positive contributor to students' learning." |

| "It's
been a GREAT experience for me! I've become a part of the classroom.
I look forward to going each week." "The first graders progressed
from pictures and short sentences on cards to a tiny book the
teacher used, and then the books I brought. It was a miracle!"
"I love the two teachers I'm working with and will continue
with them next year." "A very fulfilling experience." "The teacher
and the children make me feel like a queen." "This year has
been enriching for me and, I believe, enriching for the students.
I've read aloud some twenty books, ranging from serious to silly.
Together, we've been to a New York hotel, to Nazi-occupied France,
to outer space, to the pioneer Midwest, to a Scandinavian mountain
top. I believe the second-graders with whom I've worked this
year have learned that reading can be a pleasure, can be engaging,
can be fun - and that each book is the doorway into a new world."
