Our Amherst College reading mentors have been hard at work corresponding with children across the United States. The energetic team of 40 college students manage to cover 81 books, all while juggling their own heavy class loads.Reader To Reader’s Doris Hiatt Mentoring Program and Navajo Mentoring Program bring together children from low-income backgrounds and college student reading mentors to read books and discuss them online in a specially designed forum. The students not only receive positive feedback and academic support, but also much-needed role models.

i know there isn't too many comments on your blog, but i just want to say how impressed i am with your organization here. Literacy is an important issue in our country and it's refreshing to see a group like this out there in the community.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We love what we do, and we are always trying to find new and better ways to do it.
Best,
