Syracuse University Volunteers Mia and Claudine say goodbye for this session. They are students from SU. Who volunteer at the Reading Clinic. They are compassionate and loving young women who gave of themselves to tutor reading. They really connected with the children and were able to effectively "teach" reading. The children were positively reactive to their concern. Mrs. Melissa Card facilitates guidance to the tutors and the group.
