Senior Citizens Are “Book Buddies” with Elementary School Students

Supercast Episode 341
It is a heartwarming partnership between senior citizens and elementary school students, a partnership where seniors from a local assisted living center are showing up and reading with kids in the library.

On this episode of the Supercast, we take you to Oquirrh Elementary School. That’s where we see first-hand how being book buddies is building connections and companionship between the students and seniors, and bridging a generation gap. But best of all, it is inspiring a love for literacy in young children who look forward to the monthly visits from their senior friends.
