Since May we have been reading aloud using Zoom. Charlene Fenton, Assistant Principal at Politi Elementary, recently sent us the following about our impact:
"It has been my great pleasure to host Reading to Kids book clubs for Leo Politi Elementary. I will always remember the first virtual meeting after the school closure. Students were so happy to see their grade level friends whom they hadn't seen for several weeks.
Hosting the Zoom is made so easy by the volunteers, who are always great. They make the books come alive and are very creative in how they interact with the students. The volunteers help students connect with the books by sharing their own experiences through discussions and scavenger hunts where students can share favorite items in their homes.
While I hope schools will open soon so we can meet with each other in person, I am so grateful to Reading to Kids for carrying on the second Saturday tradition for all of our students."
Please help the children we read to stay connected to each other and our volunteers through the love of reading - include Reading to Kids in your #GivingTuesday!
