Our goal is to have 30 SMART Students reading twice a week. We need 4 more volunteer readers on Mondays and Thursdays at 11:25 12:30! SMART students receive two new books of their own every month. Across the state, 1 in 3 Oregon fourth graders reads below the basic level. Fifth graders who participated in SMART are 60% more likely to reach state reading benchmarks. DATES TO REMEMBER An hour a week - that’s all it takes to make a difference! You don’t need a cape to be a super hero! SMART volunteers are wonderful role models as they share their love of reading with Kindergarten through third grade children needing extra reading support and someone to read to. With just an hour a week of reading one-on- one in two 30-minute sessions, volunteers help children learn that reading is fun, and as a volunteer, you learn what it feels like to be someone's hero! w w w .jcsd .k1 2.ORUS There are still children at Metolius Elementary School waiting for a volunteer so they can begin enjoying the Love of Reading with SMART -- Start Making a Reader Today!
