BETTER BASICS is Helping Birmingham Area Children Improve Their Reading Skills

Hello Ann. What a great group for the advocacy of being literate. We all need to better communicate in the world and any efforts toward this end are very worthwhile. Happy Memorial Day weekend Ann!!

Ann - There is nothing more important today for our children than improving their reading skills.   My 7 yr. old granddaughter loves to read and I so enjoy listening to her when she wants to read a story to me.  This is a wonderful program that is so beneficial to all the children in Birmingham.

I love this.  I am a firm believer that most won't know how much they would love to read until they are introduced to reading.

Ann - It sounds like a GREAT program.  I have always felt that if you could teach a kid to read, then learning other subjects became so much easier because they had access through books.

Great Program, .....children sometimes need someone special to help them learn to read! Everyone learns at different speeds and in a classroom its very difficlut to get alot of one on one instruction. This an excellent program.

This sounds wonderful.  I am a reading fanatic and feel it is so important to be able to read.  What a gift.  I know many kids who are falling behind may feel embarrassed and not say anything.  I'm glad they have help!

Hi Ann, This sounds like such a great program.  Although reading skills come easy for some children, others need that extra help that tutoring provides.
