At Helen Fort Middle School, our Reading Role Models take pride in inspiring a love for reading in younger students by actively engaging with them through read-aloud sessions and meaningful conversations about books. These dedicated middle schoolers visit pre-k and elementary classrooms to read stories, share their own reading experiences, and encourage positive reading habits. By serving as enthusiastic and supportive mentors, they help foster a love for literacy at an early age while building strong connections across grade levels. This program not only supports early reading development but also cultivates leadership, empathy, and confidence in our middle school students.
