LOVE CHILDREN? LOVE BOOKS?
Volunteers Wanted for Fifth Grade Book Club for 2019-2020 School Year
Book Club pairs three adult volunteers with 6 to 8 fifth graders in a monthly meeting during the lunch hour. We provide the books and pizza. The students provide the impetus for discussion, their unique insights (and cuteness)! This is a monthly commitment but missing a session or two is OK.
Please plan on attending one of the summer training sessions on either June 19 at 9:30 am or July 17 at 3:00 pm at the NCJW office.

FUND DEVELOPMENT
Wendie Forman, Vice President
Every month, this column highlights an NCJW/Cleveland program that your financial support makes a reality.
Reader’s Theater
is a drama/literacy program for fourth grade students in which they perform a play without memorization, costumes or props. Volunteers work with children to bring a production to performance
in three one-hour sessions over three weeks.
The activity stimulates creativity and imagination, improves oral reading and communication skills, increases vocabulary and active listening skills, promotes self-esteem and self-discipline, creates a sense of teamwork and aids in appreciation of multiculturalism and theater.
The role of the volunteers is to develop trust and a sense of fun.
The program is also therapeutic, as this episode demonstrates: Volunteers were handing out roles and asked, "who would you like to be?" One young man said: ”Anyone but me!” He continued that his mother had died recently and he was sad. The volunteers gave him a very major part in which he lost himself in and became the most dramatic presenter in his class. This experience opened him up, the teacher reported. This work really makes a difference in these children's lives.
Six schools participated in Reader's Theater this year.
