Temple's Bethune Early Childhood Center planted the seeds of literacy Tuesday with its first meeting of the "Rocking Readers" reading program.Remembering a story of planted seeds from a fellow educator, Early Childhood Coordinator Tina Coppin likened the reading program to planting seeds."We are planting seeds that are going to grow into flowers," she said. "Like budding flowers, this program will expand children's minds and literacy in their homes."Representatives from Southwestern Bell and Heilig-Meyers Furniture Company were presented with certificates for helping in the effort to provide the school with five rocking chairs for the volunteers and their chosen students."We love to sponsor programs like these to help children. The company is very education oriented," said Jewell Sanders of Southwestern Bell's External Affairs office.The Tuesday afternoon gathering allowed the program's first volunteers to choose children they would like to read to once a month."We just completed home visiting and found that not many homes had a lot of books in them," Coppin observed. by Nicole Edwards
