Second grader, Domenico, is brand new to NHR. He is excited to meet new people, kind and always has a smile on his face. He tried his best with his workbook placement, brow furrowed in concentration. His literacy level is extremely low – he doesn’t know the difference between letter names and letter sounds. He is not the only student for whom the alphabet is an area of growth in the aftermath of the pandemic. Domenico is eager to learn and grow. He loves the color red so our site team has found red smiley stickers to help motivate him and even red books to read! We are excited to helping him on his reading journey.
NHR is needed now more than ever. Our waitlist has over 100 names and continues to grow with students just like Domenico and your gift means we can help more students achieve their potential.
