Our Kendall Auto Community Outreach pup, Barketing Manager, and Employee Therapist, Kendall, is kicking off her 4th year of the Kendall Reading Program at John Tuck Elementary! While this marks the fourth year of the program, Miss Davenport’s 1st grade class is the going to experience this program for the first time. Kendall visits and reads with the students every Friday to support and encourage their reading. While Kendall is not there, the 1st graders have been tasked with completing reading minutes at home or completing writing prompts that will spark their imagination. During Kendall’s first visit, each student will receive a plush Kendall buddy, ensuring they have a reading companion when she’s not around. As the children achieve their weekly reading and writing goals, they will earn additional prizes and accessories for their reading buddies.
Out of all of Kendall’s projects, reading with the kids is her favorite initiative. The Kendall Cares Team partnered with John Tuck Elementary to design a program that not only encouraged the kids to read at home but allowed them to improve their reading & writing at school every Friday, with Kendall. Over this 8-week program, you can see the progress in their reading as they complete their minutes and earn accessories to put on their very own Kendall reading buddies. The Kendall Cares team would like to thank John Tuck Elementary for inviting us to spend time with their students and curate a learning experience the kids will never forget.
