Jim Cox was a SMART reader for five years. An experience that sticks out in Jim’s memory happened one morning when Jim went into school and found that his regular 3rd grade girl wasn’t in her classroom. He was told that the students were on their way in from recess. Jim walked to end of the hall, and the door swung open with the teacher leading a group of kids in a single-file line. Within moments, the little girl saw Jim and ran up to him. She jumped into his arms beaming from ear to ear. Jim recalls, “It made my heart go ‘pitter-patter’.”
