Reading Program

Leanna's doing a reading tutor program after school every Thursday. She's been doing quite well this year and I don't think it's something she needs.......but she wanted to and hey the extra help certainly can't hurt. Apparently they teach volunteers techniques to improve kids' reading abilities. She said they played some card games and I think she enjoyed walking there and back to the school. It's a chance to learn and be with a friend or two.

I feel the extra help won't hurt her. At least she can spend some time with her friends and she feels like she is accomplishing something that is worth while.

There was only one girl there that she knows, and they grouped them together yesterday because it was the first one for her. But generally she won't be able to spend time with friends, it's focused time. Yesterday she said that it was a really long time. It's an hour and a half focused on reading. So hopefully her spelling will improve too!!
