| Our January Challenge with REACH OUT and READ was to visit Operation Breakthrough to read and interact with the preschool children. Operation Breakthrough offers a safe learning environment for children who are currently living in poverty. Our goal along with REACH OUT and READ is to support early childhood literacy and inspire a love of reading. We divided our team into groups of two, and proceeded to read stories and play learning games with classrooms of 4 to 5 year olds. They, in turn, inspired all of us with their energy and enthusiasm. |
