Vic Verbalaitis For the Arizona Daily Star Adan, a third-grader at Lineweaver Elementary School, reads aloud from a Magic School Bus book in Ms. Cummins’ first-grade classroom. Usually, he enjoys fictional stories about monsters and aliens, or just anything slimy.
People are also reading… Over the course of a school year, from October to May, the volunteer readers develop close friendships with the young students they meet with to read every week. As the year progresses, so do the students’ reading skills, and the volunteers witness their growth firsthand. “What’s particularly fun about reading with a child is that the teachers and the kids pick out the books,” Hansen said. “So it’s not about the lawyer, it’s about the kid.

By the end of the year, both the student and the volunteer have made a new friend.
