The most crucial of activities in both program is reading practice. Whether alone or together with an accomplished reader, experts agree there is no better way to improve reading skills than to read. Both programs require students to read for varying blocks of time during the school day as well as reading at home. Often, students need to return to school the next day with evidence of that past nights' reading verified by an adult. Modeling the importance of reading also plays a big role in helping these emerging readers see how reading is a skill necessary for all ages.
All elementary schools welcome volunteers of all ages to work with students.
