Our Summer Virtual Book Pair program allows students to meet weekly on Zoom with trained reading mentors and peers from Southeast Michigan, engaging with exciting fiction and nonfiction texts. All I need from you is a simple yes to participate, which you can email to our program coordinator, Leah. Once we have your confirmation, we&apos;ll provide flyers for you to send home, and students who sign up will receive a bag of books to keep for their home libraries. I&apos;m looking forward to partnering with you and hope to hear a yes soon!</description></oembed>
