During the 2015-16 school year, ECEAP program preschoolers at Lincoln Elementary School in Vancouver visited second grade “reading buddies” who read aloud to them. It was a great opportunity for the second graders to practice their reading skills, and the ECEAP students loved getting to hang out with the older children.

After one of the visits, ECEAP teacher Dina Johnson received the following sweet note from a second-grader:

"Thank you pre-school buddys! Thank you for letting us read to you! I will miss you guys so much! I enjoyed reading to you! Thanks for comeing! I appreciate it! Sincerely, Cami"
