Calling All Volunteers. That means YOU!


Can you read? If your answer is yes, then you can help. If your answer is no, then you are lying.

As many of you know I am part of a web-based volunteer group called In2Books.com.

What is In2Books you ask? Well, in short, In2Books pairs 3rd-5th graders from all over the US with willing literate adults to become pen-pals. Through out the school year you read up to five books and discuss via email your thoughts, opinions and ideas with each other. It's a great way to get kids to develop and expound their writing and communication skills. And for most kids it's the first time to discuss topics with an adult other than their teacher or relatives.


It's almost August (yikes) and the new school year will be starting up soon. So if you've got a few extra hours this year and don't mind reading on a 4th grade level, sign-up; they could definitely use as many volunteers as possible.



It's easy as pie to sign-up, although a background check is required. So for all my friends that are creeps... you might want to sit this one out.
