Reading & Me

This past Saturday, I attended a training session for one of my new volunteer activites I plan to do when I'm back in the city......Read With Me.

This is a literacy program funded by local companies that pairs adult volunteers one-on-one with struggling young readers.

I had absolutely no idea of all the different types of books that are available to young readers. Wow! I was very impressed.

I especially liked the "wordless" books. These are very cool picture books only...no words... where the "reader" makes up the story based on the pictures they see on every page.

I've always loved reading and think that this is going to be so much fun when I get started!
