Second Semester Junior Year
Reading Partners
Caila
In the last six weeks at Reading Partners, I’d seen a
tremendous amount of improvement in Isabella’s reading. She had kept her same
enthusiasm and is now less than a grade level behind in her reading. I do feel
that I had a large impact, as I could tell that she truly benefitted from one
on one attention so that she didn’t have the opportunity to distract herself.
Although at my time at reading partners in my Junior year, I only helped one
student, I could see the larger impact the organization had at the school.
Constantly, students would be walking into the classroom asking if they could
be put into the program even though they were reading at their grade level. The
program unfortunately didn’t have enough tutors for those kids but it
demonstrated the impact the program had on the students and the enthusiasm for
learning that was fostered at the school. I realized that at a school that
didn't have all the resources that one like Menlo had, it was even more
important for the students to receive the attention they needed to reach their
full potential, especially because they might have the ability to focus on
their school work at home due to other distractions that they may be facing in
their life.
