MARLBOROUGH – The city recently wrapped up its summer reading program for elementary school students.
The wrap-up featured an appearance from some special reading ambassadors from the Worcester Red Sox – Smiley, Woofster and Roberto Rocket.
Nicole Cyr, a special education teacher for prekindergarten-grade two, organized the program. It consisted of tutoring and reading for English language learners, and special education students for grades K-five.
Although the summer program is over, Cyr encourages students to keep reading in order to enhance their spelling, fluency and vocabulary skills; improve their self-esteem; and boost memory skills.
