Crocker Farm first-grader Alex Martinez, 6, smiles after reading a book for Principal Paul Wiley, left, in his office Thursday. Martinez is a student in the Reading Recovery Program taught by Janine Kelly and had sent a letter to Wiley asking if they could read a book together. Martinez chose "Mushrooms for Dinner" written by Beverly Randell and illustrated by Isabel Lowe.
