Raising a Reader Project

Teacher Impressions

Quotes from Teachers who are participating in the RAR program:

Atherton Elementary
“The activities were fun. You know, having children coming back with book reports over their favorite books.”

La Amistad Love and Learning Academy
“I love the program.  I really enjoyed the books. I really did tie them in with my theme of the week.”

Jewels Learning Center
 “The parents really enjoyed the program. I got very positive feedback from the parents.”

St. John’s Academy
“We have gotten an overwhelmingly large number of our parents giving us positive feedback (about the RAR program).  They are like ‘Oh the books are great.  It’s such a great selection of books.’ A lot of our parents were so surprised that there were a lot of African American books and they were really happy to see that. Some of the books are classics that the parents know from when they grew up, so that was cool…We are also getting a lot of parents who are taking their kids to the library now.”
