Within that value is the belief that we are committed to readying our students to become literate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way to encourage literacy is by sharing stories with children. Many schools have guest reader programs. Waugh Chapel Elementary decided to enhance this program\u00a0by implementing Mystery Reader Days. Volunteers signed up to guest read, but these readers were not announced to the classes. This mystery increased the level of excitement about the guest readers. Often, children would be found sneaking to their classroom doors to peek out to see if they could recognize someone coming down the hallway. This program not only promoted reading, but it was also an opportunity for family members to volunteer in each classroom from Prekindergarten to fifth grade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Mystery Reader Program was recognized\u00a0at the 2018 Volunteer Breakfast as\u00a0an Exemplary Volunteer Program for providing support to student literacy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many schools have guest reader programs.
