TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - As part of the Real Men Read program, male volunteers will go into Vigo County Schools and read with students.

All it takes is one hour a month.

These MENtors will show the value of education and literacy.

They will also be a strong male role model encouraging kids to do their best in school and to work for success.

MENtors are armed with lesson plans and question sheets to help lead a discussion about the books they are reading.

There are several ways for people to be involved in the program, whether mentoring or purchasing books for a class.

That is a phenomenal idea and would be idealistic for the Sycamore Athletes to participate in.

Yes that is a great idea....

Excellent idea TJ. Do you think it will happen? That kind of PR would be great for the Sycamores!

MANY ISU athletes (male and female) already do this as part of the "Read Now" program sponsored by the MVC..

Glad to hear this! That is probably one of many things that those of us not living in Terre Haute seldom hear about.
