“Since I have participated in 100 Book Challenge, I find that I’m more interested in novels, and that I read more than I used to. It’s like having 30 minutes to explore far away places, and things from a kid’s point of view.”

“Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at noon, I look forward to working with my partner. I wish I could work with her every single day. I feel so happy for her when she goes to the next level, not just for her, but for myself, since I helped her to do it. I know that if she works hard and believes in herself, she can go on to the next level. This program helped me think about what I want to do when I am older. This is a great start on my career as a teacher.”

“I have been working with a young boy in first grade. He is a wonderful reader. When he comes to my room, I feel a rush of hope and love. He has changed my life. After 30 minutes of being with him, my whole world feels warm. When I see him at the door, I know he’s ready to read. He loves to read and finds it easy. When I found out that my partner passed to the next level, I was so pleased and overjoyed!"
