Reading to children is magical, I recently had the privilege of teaching my first lesson plan to a kindergarten class I was observing. There I found out about the joys of reading to a class of children. I have no children of my own yet, nor do I have any nieces or nephews where I would have experienced this simple pleasure. I realized that these students are eager to discover everything in the world. They are excited for an adult to sit and read with them. Reading to a child make you feel like your transported to a different place, especially when you have to make all the fun, different voices and hand gestures. For students that are emerging from a diverse background and live in a cultural melting pot such as South Los Angeles, the students can find comfort in reading with their teachers, parents, family members, and peers. Reading projects like this one, sound like a wonderful tool that will enhance continual growth within families and their relationships. I am inspired that you have the compassion and insight to create a program that promotes critical thinking within a family environment by encouraging families to read with each other.
