Below is a video of Eliana, a Partners in Literacy Reading Volunteer, reading with two second grade brothers. You will notice that Eliana is very expressive in her reading. You will also notice that Eliana asks lots of short, very clear questions. This is the first time these three have read together.
In this video, you will hear, Jim, a former actor, read with a second-grade student. It is delightful to see how much fun both are having together. They have been reading virtually for several months.
Below you see Arna reading with a second-grade student. Arna is a former elementary school teacher. We love that Arna asks her student questions but does not give the answer. Instead, she encourages her student to keep noticing.
Here Mindy, a former elementary school reading teacher, has turned this student’s rough Friday into a fun one by sharing jokes.
