Letter: I was sad to see Reading Partners go. I saw first-hand how effective it was

As a retired English teacher, I volunteered with Reading Partners for three years and was sad to see the program dropped . I saw both children I tutored, one for two years twice a week, make significant gains in skills and confidence. The administrators and materials provided were excellent.

It seems that when hundreds of volunteers work with children at no cost to TPS, most of the program’s costs will necessarily be for those materials and administration. If so, was the program judged on effectiveness, or only on cost? Letters to the editor are encouraged. Submit letters at go.
