Natasha’s Story
“When we arrived in the US, Natasha spoke very little English. Her daycare teachers were worried and thought that she may need speech therapy. We enrolled Natasha in the Pre-K program and found out about the Children and Parents Reading Together program. The program has been a huge help for Natasha. First, it helped her learn a new language and improve her vocabulary. She is eager to read now and has even become more comfortable socializing with the other kids. Her CPRT instructor, Ms. Margot, has been a big help. She always pushes Natasha and makes a huge effort to make an impact on all of the kids’ lives. Natasha now looks forward to her reading time every week.”
