I work in a school that is located in a very poor neighborhood in Boston. In my pre-school classroom there are seven boys and one girl. At the beginning of the year the children had a hard time paying attention to a story partly because they had so little experience listening to them. As the year has gone on the children have come to love story time. We have a cozy reading area and they love to snuggle up with a favorite book and a blanket. At rest time children who lay quietly but can't sleep look at books on their mats, sometimes with a friend. I love reading myself and I have enjoyed watching our students who are only four and five come to enjoy reading too. I am continually amazed by how bright my students are given how little they have in terms of resources. I have worked in schools where children have so many books their parents long to give some away. Not so with the children I have this year. I would love to have enough books to start a lending library.
