Working with elementary children of all ages is what Mr*. Kilby says she enjoys most Heightening each child’s interest in reading is her goal. "That’s a good one,” Mrs. Kilby will say to a’ student who’s checking out a book she knows well. "I haven’t read it; let me know what you think," she’ll say to other*. "You’d be surprised. They'D come back and tell me whether they liked (the book) or not,” she beams.
Mrs. Kilby knows the interests of elementary students, who she can read like a book. Second-graders: "Ihoy look for eolorflil’ books with pictures and a good story, not too long,” Mrs. Kilby says. Fifth-grade, girt "Adventure books, mysteries, horse books,” she affirms. Seventh-graders: “(They’re) very much into romance. Some of them are reading poetry and I like that.”
Rewarding Career
At the elementary school, going to the library is mandatory. Occasionally, Mrs. Kilby encounters a student who doesn’t want to read, however.
She generally notices this among third- or fourth-graders. "I’m not too interested in reading,” she recalls students saying. When they do, Mrs. Kilby sets out immediately to dungs their minds.
First, she asks the student what he or she likes to do. Then she matches that interest with a book on the subject written on a reading level the student feels comfortable with. "(They) don’t like to read if they can’t do it,” she says.
It works, whether the interest is Redskins football, Raggedy Ann or rattlesnakes. "Usually, they’ll want (to read about) a similar subject when they come back,” she adds. It’s a rewarding part of the job, she admits, but not the only rewarding part.
