Volunteers needed to help Gresham, Portland elementary students learn to read
When Gresham's Jessie Wheeler first started volunteering with a program dedicated to helping kids become better readers, one first grader she was paired with was shy and unconfident.
The little girl didn't like making eye contact and read so quietly that Wheeler could barely hear her.
"Finally she looked at me and said, 'Reading is hard,'" Wheeler remembered.
But the pair kept working at it every week, with fun games and exercises to build the girl's confidence. Now during their mentoring sessions, that girl can barely contain her excitement when she picks up a book.
