Parents and teachers tend to use the word magic when describing Reading Quest, a Santa Fe-based childhood literacy program that is helping about 450 elementary school students learn to read every week through one-on-one professional tutoring.
“It’s like magic,” said Amanda Mendez, whose 11-year-old son, Lorenzo, has been in the program for two years. “Amazing, amazing, amazing results. For Lorenzo, yes, he has improved in his reading skills. But, more so, his confidence. He’s definitely come so far.” For many young students, reading and self-confidence go hand in hand. Struggling to read at the level of their peers can be discouraging and can impact their ability to keep up with other subjects. Learning to read can boost their self-esteem and improve their overall success. |
