Good morning teachers: I know that we just started school but I would like to give you something to be thinking about. The Every 1 Reads volunteer program will be starting shortly and you will have the opportunity to give me two names of students who could use a little extra help in reading. How this works is, they will be assigned an adult mentor who comes in once a week and reads with the child for 30 minutes. I set them up with the tutor, make a folder that is kept in your room, and you assign reading materials that are conducive to their learning experience. The tutor will come to your room and pick up the folder and the child and begin their journey together. I will be passing out referral forms next week. The child will begin when I return a folder to you. This is an extremely lengthy process because I have to make sure that record checks have cleared and that volunteers availability line up with the students. This was just a little food for thought while you are exploring reading over the next week..

Megan Brady has been kind enough to oversee this project in Valerie's absence. Blessings are passed out to students who have returned permission slips every Friday. Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns/suggestions about this program.

Ms. Overberg has asked for each teacher to recommend two students for this program. The deadline for referrals is Wednesday 9/19/12. Remember to list two times that are convenient for a volunteer to work with the students. Once we receive your recommendation form, we will begin the process of matching volunteers with students. A referral form is attached for your convenience.
