    The last few weeks I have been spending my time working one on one with kids on their reading skills. Since the first of the year, I have tested all the Elementary kids using the FRY Sight Word check lists for their previous grade to see if they are where they are supposed to be. For those who are behind, each week I have been using FRY Sight Word flash cards. As I check back over words from the previous week, I am seeing a small amount of progress. I'm praying that it's helpful and that these kids will be able to retain the recognition of the words we are studying.
    I'm not sure that I recorded my Impact for Wednesday, February 19. If not, it was the same as yesterday: 2 hours working with individual kids on sight words.

    Spent my time working one on one with several Elementary students. I checked some on grade appropriate Fry Sight Words lists. Used Fry Word flash cards with others.

    I helped with homework, led Bible Study for the elementary kids and had one academic lesson. I don't have a lot of kids and they aren't always there the day that I volunteer, but the kids are getting better as far as listening and cooperating are concerned. They are not complaining as much about having to quit playing basketball. (One boy said today as he came into my class, "Coach Mary said if we hurry up and get to class and behave that we'll get through quicker." Very wise words!! They have been in school all day and I don't want them to feel like they are still in school, so I'm trying to make it as fun and interesting as possible. Just praying that we can help to improve the reading skills of some of our kids. Really enjoyed my time with the kids today.

    I led Bible Study for the elementary kids. I am still checking elementary kids on Fry Sight Words. I have gotten some materials organized for tutors. We have one volunteer from Grace Church who is ready to start next week and 4 others who have indicated an interest.

    Mary and I spent some time discussing ways that we can help the kids improve their reading skills. I began checking kids (using the Fry Sight Word list) just to give us a starting point. Ginny is meeting with us this afternoon to talk about ways we can include reading skills activities.

    Mostly just spent time talking to different kids.
    Talked to a couple of older girls about helping me work on some reading skills to help some of the elementary kids. I'll be on vacation next week, but we're looking at using some flash cards with sight words to help some of the kids who are behind in reading and we will get started trying that out when I get back.
