Reading Buddies

Reading Buddies is designed to support new and emerging readers as they work to develop their confidence and enjoyment in reading.

How It Works: Readers are paired with a trained teen volunteer for a 30-minute session of fun literacy activities and shared reading in a supportive environment. While volunteers are not there to teach reading, they will provide support to build upon the skills your child is already learning in school. Participants are also encouraged to pre-select books that are at a level at which they feel comfortable, although a small selection of books will also be available. This event is first-come, first-served for elementary-aged readers.

Reading Buddies está diseñado para apoyar a los lectores nuevos y emergentes mientras trabajan para desarrollar su confianza y disfrute en la lectura. Cómo funciona: Los lectores son emparejados con un voluntario adolescente para una sesión de 30 minutos de actividades de alfabetización y lectura compartida en un ambiente de apoyo. Aunque los voluntarios no están allí para enseñar lectura, ellos proporcionarán apoyo para desarrollar las habilidades que su hijo ya está aprendiendo en la escuela. Se alienta a los participantes a preseleccionar libros que estén en un nivel en el que se sientan cómodos leyendo.
