Review for EVERYBODY WINS-IOWA INC, Des Moines, IA, USA
Reading with a child is such a rewarding experience, particularly getting to watch them grow in their confidence and in their enjoyment reading. It's also rewarding to form a relationship with your mentee and get to know them better. The best part is it's only 45 minutes per week during lunch, so I don't have to commit time after work and can use my lunch break to make a big difference in someone's life!
Thank you for your review Kim!
Review for EVERYBODY WINS-IOWA INC, Des Moines, IA, USA
Spending time reading and bonding with my buddy has been the most rewarding experience I've had in a long time. It's easy to see progress in my student, without having to have "expertise" in teaching reading skills - just a genuine love for reading and helping children in need. It's also an easy time commitment - just one lunch break per week.
Thank you for your review!
Review for EVERYBODY WINS-IOWA INC, Des Moines, IA, USA
Everybody Wins! Iowa has to be the easiest and most rewarding way to give back to your community. It only takes one hour reading with your child each week to see a noticeable difference in their reading levels, confidence, and overall well-being. My reading buddy looks forward to updating me on his week and what's going on in school. That has led us to forging a partner reading experience, where we take turns reading out loud instead of just me doing all the talking. I know that means this mentorship has had an impact on him -- and of course, it has had an impact on me, too!
