Cada martes, Emilia Vargas, madre de cuatro niños, acude 45 minutos a la primaria Odom, al sur de Austin, para leer con los niños de segundo grado.
“Cuando mi niña estaba en segundo grado, yo no pude ayudarla a aprender a leer porque tenía un bebé, pero me dio gusto que (otros adultos) se hayan tomado el tiempo con mi niña”, explica Vargas.
