Ohio State University football players Boom Herron and Mike Adams appeared last Friday at Heritage Elementary School to read to eight classes of kindergarten students. Teachers sometimes use the mystery reader tactic to incite enthusiasm about reading, and these players certainly qualified as quite the wonderful surprise! This experience with reading directly correlates with the kindergarten common standards in English Language Arts. This standard emphasizes active engagement in group reading activites with purpose and understanding. Teacher Natalia Janakievski invited and hosted the Buckeyes.
