Today I am ever so thankful for my job.

I am thankful for the time and opportunities to sit with children and listen to them read, carefully sounding out each sound.

I am thankful for the time to sit and ask them questions about the text and encourage them to think a bit harder, delve a bit deeper into it.

I am thankful for those precious moments when their faces light up, they look at me with a smile and realize, “I CAN do it!”
