Seven-year-old Maggie Kuznia loves books, but she seems to love sharing the stories she reads even more.
This sweet endeavor began on a snow day.
As little Maggie was packing her bag, Kuznia reminded her to bring her Nintendo Switch.
Maggie quicklyrepliedthat she had different plans for the day.
I’m going to bring books and I’m going to read to the residents, she announced.
Among the residents Maggie has befriended is Patti Griggs, a retired elementary school teacher.
Shes such a good little reader.
I taught first grade, and I taught kids how to read.
There were very few children who could come in and read like that, the former educator said.

To her surprise, Maggie read it with no problem.
Maggie hopes to inspire other kids her age to read to the elderly.
As for the residents, Maggie seems to brighten up their day.
I think the intergenerational part is so good, Griggs said.
Everybody likes to have the attention of another person and be special to them.
