Matthew Scholer Reading His Raising Reader BookMy name is Colleen Lunn Scholer and I am a mother of three kids (6, 4, and 1). My step-father, Peter Wood, let me know that Raising Readers is celebrating 10 years this year.
My husband, Aaron, is a pediatrician at Central Maine Pediatrics and we both think very highly of the Raising Readers program. The program actually used a photo of Matthew when he was just a few days old. He was reading with me on our bed.
Mother, Colleen Lunn Scholer reads to Matthew from Raising Reader BookThe story that I share with people is that our family loves to read and, yes, we planned to read to Matthew. But in those first few days, we spent lots of time in our Master bedroom. That wasn't where we had put some of his first books. We didn't realize when we set up his nursery that we'd be in our bedroom so much! But in our room, we had the books that we received from Raising Readers and that was what I reached for. I was amazed at how alert he was and that he was actually enjoying being read to!
Dr. Aaron Scholer Reads to His Children Today, Matthew is reading everything. He just turned 6 in November and is in Kindergarten. He reads to his sisters, reads the sports section of the newspaper- you name it.
Matthew Reads to Madeline from her 9 month Raising Reader bookI love the program and I will be sad when my daughter, Madeline turns 5 and the program will be over for our family. But I hope we will always be involved.
