When I saw Ronny for the first time, he
looked like other kids in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as a
Reading Mom. However, he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes.
On the day when it was Ronny's turn to
read. He sat very close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each
letter as "he tried to speak out "Bud the Sub". It sounded more like
"Baw Daw Saw" when he said it because of his difficulty with the
alphabet (字母).
The year passed quickly and Ronny had made
some progress but he was still below the level of grade. A few weeks before the
school year ended, I held an award(颁奖) ceremony. I had gifts and certificates(证书) for everyone. It took me a while to think about which Ronny fit; I
believed the gift could cheer him up. I finally decided on "The Most
Progressive Reader". I showed his certificate and a book.
A few days later, I saw Ronny reading the
book when I went back to the school. His teacher said, "He hasn't put that
book down. That's the first book he's ever owned. "
Fighting
back
tears(眼泪) I came near
Ronny and asked, "Will you read me your book, Ronny?" He nodded.
And then, for the next few minutes, he read
to me more smoothly than I'd ever thought. When he finished reading, Ronny
closed his book and said, "Good book."
At that moment, I knew I should do what an
author(作家) had
done-care children and make them excellent.
