Booth Elementary Puts Reading First
Despite the promises of his school's staff to get him the help he needed, Mary's 7-year-old grandson could not read. "I'm real stupid," he would tell her. "Everybody knows how to read except me. Kids make fun of me at school and stuff because I'm so stupid."
Things turned around when Mary gained custody of her grandson, following the loss of his father, and transferred him to Anna F. Booth Elementary, her neighborhood school. Five months later, her grandson was not only reading well but also loving school. "They changed a child's life," says Mary about the teachers at Booth.
