What the Children Say   

It seems like they listen more. Mostly when you read to people they're looking around, not listening to you.

They sit there and don't interrupt. They don't ask questions like people.

Last year in grade 1, I didn't know how to read. It didn't make me feel very good about myself. After I started to read to Chelsea I felt good. I like to read to her because she helps me with words and she's a good listener. Now I can read a lot of different books. That makes me very happy. My favourite thing I like about Chelsea is that she does cool tricks and barks to say "bye" to me.
