Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
Reading to Kids is delighted to welcome Sarah Kolterman as our new Program Coordinator! Sarah graduated from UCLA this past June with a degree in Psychology and minors in English and Education. While at UCLA, Sarah co-directed Bruin Partners, a one-on-one tutoring/mentoring program, organizing volunteers and supervising staffing and program implementation.
Some of you may already know Sarah as a Magnolia volunteer! Sarah has volunteered as a reader and GLC at Magnolia since October 2004. Needless to say, her volunteer recruitment and program management skills fit perfectly with what we do at Reading to Kids. Sarah can be reached at Sarah.Kolterman@readingtokids.org.
Welcome, Sarah!
AUGUST READING CLUBS
Click here to sign up for our August reading clubs. Next Saturday, August 12th, is quickly approaching, and we still have a few spots to fill at Gratts and Hoover!
The theme for this month's books is "Feelings and Emotions." First grade will be reading Crow Boy by Taro Yashima, second grade will be reading My Name is Yoon by Helen Recovits, and fourth grade will enjoy My name is Mar'a Isabel by Alma Flor Ada. For a complete list of this month's books and some excellent discussion and craft ideas to go along with them, please click here.
