Question

      This year's Miss Chinatown Fashion Show was more than just a showcase for clothing and shoe designers. It was also a fund-raiser(募捐活动) and volunteer sign-up event for the grassroots organization Reading to Kids.We are looking for donations(捐赠) as well as volunteers to come and read, ” said Reading to Kids volunteer Andrea Ramcke. “It's a volunteer organization. There are only two paid workers. 、

     According to Reading to Kids,the organization tries to encourage underserved children with a love of reading so as to enrich their lives and chances of success in the future. “It's primarily for children who don't have a lot of reading in the home,whose parents are good at a second language or they’ re good at a second language,” Ramcke said. “So we have a lot of immigrants (移民） from everywhere and lots of first generation kids who don't have a lot of books in the home."

     At present,Reading to Kids gathers 901 children and 388 volunteers at reading clubs on the second Saturday of every month at eight Los Angeles elementary schools.

     At the reading clubs,pairs of volunteers read aloud to groups of children divided up by age groups,whik the parents receive training on how to encourage their children to read at home. Ramcke also added that the kids are asked to join in by asking questions and reviewing the material along with doing a啊craft(工艺) project in relation to the book”. Every child also gets a book to take home and books are donated to school libraries through the program.

      “The kids develop a love of reading,Ramcke said. “Studying doesn’t become as hard to them when they learn how to explain it a little bit better. They learn how to think about their words. Their team communication skills and their grades go up."
