“In April, I visited a demonstration project at Independence Elementary School in Liberty Township, Ohio, which is in my district. Independence Elementary is successfully utilizing the host reading program that promotes the practices recommended by the National Reading Panel and the National Research Council. The host model utilizes about 60 mentors, age 16 to 84, to tutor approximately 50 first-through-third graders at the school in one-on-one sessions. The host reading program, which is supported by Governor Taft, funds the host programs in Ohio. In fact, the Governor and Mrs. Taft both are volunteers for this program, and I think it is a very worthy endeavor.”
