Rewarding Experience and Great Organization/People

MAKE WAY FOR BOOKS offered me an opportunity of a lifetime. The experience of reading to very young children has been very rewarding and taught me valuable lessons. It has helped me in my own child rearing; to see the love that my one year old has for books and being read to is unbelievable. The people of MAKE WAY FOR BOOKS are true believers in what they do, their excitement is contagious.

Overall Experience
It was great to see the kids being mentors for preschoolers. Great idea!

I worked at the Pio Decimo Center on the south side of Tucson for a summer and helped with the Make Way for Books Program a few times. Reading programs like this one are so important for kids who don't get much literacy exposure in their homes.
