Reading is an integral part of a child’s education; words are everywhere, and studies show that students how are behind on their reading past 4th grade are more likely to struggle through school and less likely to graduate high school. For this reason, Reading Partners helps to correct these issues early.  Through tutoring these kids, I worked to spread the abundance of knowledge and provide these young students a resource to do well in school.

 

In elementary school, around 2nd or 3rd I was very behind in my reading ability. I was taken out of English class every day and I read alone with a teacher who encouraged me and motivated me to keep practice when words felt impossible. I occasionally still have trouble with words, but through teacher helped me more than I could ever imagine. I have gone on to graduate high school with a 3.0, got into college, and I am now a Meyerhoff Scholar, Honors Scholar, and a Grand Challenge Scholar. I felt it was my duty to pass on that blessing to someone else so that they may not give up and can go on to do great things. All because someone believed in them and encouraged them to keep going and never give up.
