Terry Clifford from Rochester radio station WBEE brought her reading program, called “Reading Tour” to teacher Patti Pawluk’s class at Webster’s Plank North School April 4.



During the visit, Clifford read to Pawluk’s second-graders.



The WBEE morning show host opened with a poem, which was appropriate, since April is “Poetry Month” at Plank North. She went on to read three books to the students.



After hearing the stories Clifford read, students shared elements of reading, such as rhythm, fluency, and expression, and had time to ask Clifford questions about her job working as a radio personality for more than 30 years.



Clifford, from the ‘BEE Morning Coffee Club on 92.5 WBEE, has been sharing her love of reading with school children since she began her reading program about 15 years ago.



With the addition of sponsors this year, Clifford is able to present her host teachers with a $100 gift card to be used for school supplies.



Pawluk said she will use her gift card to purchase supplies for Plank North’s first Literacy Night, which is slated for later this spring.
