Read to me. Nisomee.


Here's how it's done...

This August we had our first "Story Hour" where our sponsored students read children's books to the young neighborhood children.

Since the concept of reading to small children is a new one in the community I'm serving, we had a practice session, where I gave an example of reading aloud.  We then had each student practice by passing a book around and everyone taking a page in the story.

Then on Friday afternoons, the students read in pairs to groups of children from the neighborhood. It was a win-win that we'll do again.
