"Teaching chldren to read and providing them with something worthwhile to read is not a job for the faint of heart in this world. But I'll keep at it, and I won't be alone. You'll come too. We're fortunate, you know. Too many people in this world spend their lives doing work that doesn't really matter in the great scheme of things, but bringing children and books together does matter. And we get to do it." (Hornbrook, 1999)
Learning to Read
I'm trying hard to learn to readBut what's a kid to doWhen there's a HO, and a GO and a SO and a NOAnd then there's a word like TO!
Reading BONE, CONE, LONE and TONECan almost be kind of fun,But I get upset when I have to believe that D-O-N-E spells DONE!
It's plain to see a kid like meSure needs a helping hand.No matter how much I really tryI just don't understand.
I'm trying hard to learn to read.Somehow that's what I'll do.But for now if you'll just read to meSomeday, I'll read to you. ---Anonymous
