Reading to Kids

Last Sunday I checked out the Festival of Books at UCLA. I love the UCLA campus. It's so beautiful. I had a great time, even though there were way too many people. Way too many people! One of the booths that caught my eye was the "Reading to Kids" booth. One Saturday a month, several elementary schools near downtown L.A. host volunteers who read a book to kids and lead the kids in an art activity related to the story. While the kids hear the story and create art, the parents receive training on how to support literacy at home. What a great thing! I would love to do this at our school. What do you think?
