Reading didn't really change my life until I saw it change a child‘s Marcus was a quiet boy who lived with his mother in a _________ for the poor.

Marcus knew letters but _________ not read at all. However, as we worked together, he caught on _________and grew in ability. I gave him some books to take home every night _________ he could read them with his mother.
One day, Marcus didn't bring his books back. He looked so _________that he was about to cry. When asked why, he said that he had put the books __________his bed for safekeeping, but someone had taken his book bag during the night. I put my arm around his shoulder and __________ that I would give him more __________to take home. "Maybe the person who took your books," I said, "will become a good reader just like you."
A few weeks later, I learned Marcus and his mother were being moved to a different shelter across town for safety. I began to __________ what his future would be if he couldn't finish the program. Marcus' mother was worried too; so worried that she put him on public transportation every day and sent him all the way across town, so he could continue to __________ with me.
Marcus finally graduated from the __________as a strong reader. We had a small celebration and I gave him a book to keep. I'll never __________his ear-to-ear smile.
