"The younger kids really look up to them (8th grade Mentors), they almost idolize them; so when they see an older kid that is a good reader and interested in books and helping them; it makes a big impression on them." --Jean, Project MORE Coordinator.

Project MORE, Mentoring in Ohio for Reading Excellence, is a scientifically based reading research volunteer reading mentoring project for students with disabilities, that has demonstrated statistically significant reading results since 1999. Independent research findings consistently report students with specific learning disabilities make month for month reading level gains when they are 1:1 reading mentored four times/week for 30 minutes. Project MORE's Scientifically Based Reading Research is published in the 12/07 issue of Council for Exceptional Childrens Division on Developmental Disabilities "Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities Journal".
