“I noticed a big improvement in her confidence when reading. Every now and then she would ask to read aloud certain words or phrases and I noticed her confidence start to grow in tackling challenging words and being more comfortable in asking questions if she didn’t understand - I could see her curiosity spark. I have to imagine that having a consistent and reliable relationship with an adult outside of your family has to contribute to that confidence.”
