font-family:Arial'>Help teach our students that reading is fun, and literacy is
important! We need readers at Rosa Parks, Franklin preschool, Malcolm X and
possibly other schools. All readers need to do is show up around 9:10am, pick
out a book (if you don’t already have one), then at 9:30 students come to
lead you back to the classroom to introduce yourself, talk about why you like reading
and share a little about yourself, and then read the book! That's all. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
