Piper Martin and several volunteers, most of them from Twin Oaks, have been putting in hundreds of free hours with the Louisa Head Start children, introducing them to books and the joy of reading. All of the children who played the Reading Windows Game are ready and eager to get into books. In two years, eight of them had begun to read independently. These kids are between three and five years old – pre kindergarten.

Piper has also made her services available for a nominal fee to parents interested in having their children’s progress accelerated and in learning to play the game themselves with their children. I believe, in some cases, parent’s reading is improved.

Piper and the Reading Windows Group were reliable, conscientious, developmentally appropriate, and cooperative about complying with our regulations, such as criminal checks and T.B. tests.

I believe they would be a worthwhile investment in the future of our community’s children, and would be scrupulously responsible about using and accounting for any funds made available to them to continue their work.

Sincerely,

Donna C.
