Involving Volunteers in School Reading Programs.
Worthy, Jo; Hoffman, James V.
Reading Teacher, v53 n3 p246-48 Nov 1999
Offers descriptions of successful volunteer programs in two schools: one a school-wide program using parents as volunteers to increase student achievement, and the other a literacy program that depends on volunteers in one 1st-grade classroom. Notes that it takes time and effort to organize and involve volunteers productively, but that they can make a real difference in classrooms. (SR)
