^- My favorite part of my job is working with the children

00:26.350 --> 00:30.200
^and it's from usually the kids that struggle with reading

00:30.200 --> 00:32.710
and have a hard time or reluctant readers

00:32.778 --> 00:36.163
and when they come to me, you know, they're not as excited

00:36.163 --> 00:38.483
about reading and they know it's hard.

00:38.717 --> 00:42.237
When they make progress and they start to learn

00:42.237 --> 00:47.237
to want to read and love to read, that is a rewarding part.
