I am a teacher aide working alongside primary school children assisting them in the area of reading, comprehension and writing. I reinforce the strategies which are implemented at school. The results are: Enhanced communication between the students and myself Involved students in strategies for reading, writing and comprehension Increased level of enthusiasm and confidence in each child Lowered the lack of enthusiasm for learning. And finally I shall leave you with this quote from Victor Hugo "To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark."
