H.O.S.T.S

After hearing the announcement about HOSTS in class a few weeks ago, I decided to get involved.  It really was one of the better decisions I have made.  Although I only worked with one child for 30 minutes on Monday, I was so glad I did it!  Each child gets to pick a book on their reading level and read it to their helper.  The little boy reading to me picked Clifford the Big Red Dog, and I think he really enjoyed it.  I also enjoyed it because I got to listen to someone so young begin to like reading.  I felt honored to get to do the same thing my mom did with me with someone else.  His face lit up when he got to turn the page and see what happened next, and he read every word perfectly.  I never knew listening to a child read could be so rewarding.  After I got home on Monday I emailed the director and asked her if I could spend more time helping.  I am already looking forward to next Monday!!
