“I do like reading more now,” says Aliyah, a student from Meriden Public Schools. “I feel more confident in myself to read and not be scared to read out loud or scared to read a book I don’t understand. It takes a lot of stress off, so when the teacher calls on me, I don’t have to be scared to answer the question.”
