A little after noon, Monday through Friday, a small group of second graders at Durham Elementary in Tigard head to the library armed with their iPads.Each student grabs a pair of headphones and checks their microphone before logging onto a Zoom meeting with a tutor.Before students get to reading, they check in with each tutor, filling them in on their weekend and talking about how they're feeling that day.
