成人快播

成人快播 South Carolina is taking relationship-building between students and tutors to a new level, thanks to a partnership with children鈥檚 book author and intergenerational expert, Kate Jerome.

After spending a year working with researchers at the Center on Longevity as a part of the inaugural class of 聽Stanford鈥檚 Distinguished Careers Institute, Jerome created a new series of children鈥檚 books specifically designed to encourage conversations between generations. The series, called , is designed to initiate meaningful conversations between kids and adults that not only promote literacy, but also contribute to a child鈥檚 social and emotional development.

With more than half of 成人快播 South Carolina鈥檚 tutors being over the age of 55, Kate鈥檚 works, Lucky to Live in South Carolina and South Carolina: What鈥檚 So Great About the State?, provide great resources for students and tutors to start building positive relationships.

It can be intimidating for both volunteers and students to begin building their year-long relationships. To ease into the process, Kate鈥檚 books provide the pair with an introductory activity designed to find common ground on topics, including favorite books and local wildlife. As students share their thoughts, volunteers are then able to contribute their own stories and build connections.

Learning about students鈥� favorite books early on has given tutors a better understanding of what books will inspire and capture their young reader鈥檚 attention during weekly sessions. With Kate鈥檚 books, tutors and students are able to bond over shared experiences beyond the classroom. For example, tutor Jocelyn and student Marvin discovered their shared love of pets鈥� Jocelyn has two dogs and Marvin has two pet birds.

Many of our tutors agree that the relationship built with their student is the reason they return to 成人快播 year after year. We鈥檙e so excited to see the impact of these relationship-building activities as the year unfolds.
