Holding their attention online must be difficult, it's not easy even in a class room.
I do worry for the children who have gotten behind at this time. One of the boys I read with is already behind for his age and I can imagine the situation has only got worse. Hopefully schools can go back next month.
Sadly I think it will be a long time before it's okay for me to volunteer in school again. |
It’s marvellous you can do this labor with kids.
I was in a school in a deprived area and I was assigned to teach reading to little kids in the first hours of the morning. You know, many didn’t read at home in these kind of areas. The parents have enough to make them survive. It was a very gratifying activity, the same when I had to help migrant kids to learn Spanish.
