The students at Cactus Valley Elementary in Silt will greet you with a smile that will make your day when you visit their beautiful school and listen to them read. Grandmas, granddads, aunts, uncles, friends, neighbors, even moms and dads have a wonderful opportunity to hear the children read and get acquainted with them.

There is no training required, just a desire to listen and help with a few words. The stories they read are fun and exciting, and the one-on-one conversations with the children are truly enlightening. Talking about the stories adds to the fun. You will be amazed at how quickly they learn to sound out the words and how fast they progress.



Working with the teachers and staff at Cactus Valley adds to the pleasure. They are appreciative and pleasant to work with.

An hour or two a week with no rigid schedule makes it a no-stress and delightful community service, and a great help to the children’s reading ability. The more they read the better they read and the more they enjoy reading.



There is a great need for your help. The more the merrier. Call 665-7764 and join the fun.
