Around this same time last year, I was working with my 1st grade student on spelling. We had been spelling out a certain word for a while , and he was starting to become exasperated. Disappointingly, he asked me, "Do you think I am a bad student?" It pained me to hear him ask that question, and I quickly reassured him that I had never once heard of a bad student. Every day, I was proud of him because he not only came in ready to learn, but he taught me new things every day. That moment strengthened my relationship with my student and awakened me to the deeper aspects of tutoring.

But you can help. Closing this achievement gap begins with your support. When we teach kids to read, they don't just get to enjoy Harry Potter. They start to do better in math and science as well. They graduate from high school more frequently. They're able to read the application for that job they want. They gain confidence and dignity. They learn about the world about them. And they get to be a part of changing that world for the better.
