Ruth Barker has a passion for reading and teaching and has volunteered for Children First for nearly 10 years, spending time in several classrooms each week to read and interact with the children. During Celebrate Literacy Week, Barker acknowledges the importance of getting kids to read early and to love reading for a lifetime. "Reading, I think, is the most important thing for children," she says. "Especially in this day and age, when children have TV, Game Boys, smart phones and so many other distractions, reading and the arts are so important."
