I joined three First Baptist Church preschool classes to read aloud as part of Read Out And Read. The program supports United Way Success By Six to improve school readiness after 22 percent of first graders tested not ready. I read The Remorseful Day by Colin Dexter and highlighted reading as a lifelong pleasure while inviting others to participate through the United Way at 548-2311.
