A short story from Read Aloud board member and Berkeley County volunteer reader Casey Willson:
“We sent 22 books home with the kids in Ms. Edwards’ kindergarten class at Gerrardstown Elementary. It was ‘Waiting is Not Easy’ by Mo Willems. I kept a copy and Ms. Edwards has the balance in the classroom.
It worked well: I read the book to the class last week; we put in book plates then and the kids wrote their name in the book. Today, I read with the kids page by page, then had individuals come up with me and read a page or two. We then sent them home with the book to read to or with someone at home.
Pictured above is one student, Rhett, after the distribution. The newly independent first grade reader is reading to the baby.”
