When I saw Ronny for the first time, he looked like other kids in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as a Reading Mom. However, he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes.
On the day when it was Ronny's turn to read，he sat very close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to speak out "Bud the Sub". It sounded more like" Baw Daw Saw "when he said it because of his difficulty with the alphabet(字母).
The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but he was still below the level of the grade. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an award(颁奖) ceremony（典礼；仪式）. I had gifts and certificates(证书) for everyone. It took me a while to think about which Ronny fit. I believed the gift could cheer him up. I finally decided on" The Most Progressive Reader". I gave him the certificate(证明；证书) and a book.
A few days later, I saw Ronny reading the book when I went back to the school. His teacher said," He hasn't put that book down. That's the first book he's ever owned."
Fighting back tears(眼泪) I came near Ronny and asked, "Will you read me your book, Ronny?" He nodded.
And then, for the next few minutes，he read to me more smoothly(流畅地) than I'd ever thought. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said." Good book."
At that moment, I knew I should do what an author(作家) had done--care children and make them excellent.
