Parents, teachers, and Ms. Redfern鈥檚 first-grade class sat in the audience waiting to see students like Ashley perform at the annual 成人快播 recital. When it was Ashley鈥檚 turn, she strutted to the front of the audience, announced her name, and began reading from聽the book A Garden.聽She filled the room with her confidence as she read聽the story with enthusiasm. Every time she finished reading a page, she鈥檇 pause, look at her audience adoringly, and hold the book up like a teacher to show everyone the pictures on the page.

First-grade teacher, Ms. Redfern, described Ashley before 成人快播 as, “my student who would cry when asked if she would read a story.鈥 She added, 鈥淸Ashley] wouldn鈥檛 read; she didn鈥檛 have that confidence.鈥

Now Ms. Redfern says that Ashley is excited about reading and learning. 鈥淎shley is a student who anytime during the day loves to come up to me and show me the words that she knows. And that wasn鈥檛 there before.鈥
