| The Reading Buddy Program |
When: 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM. Once a week except during scheduled vacations. |
Description: Modeled after recognized mentoring programs, the Reading Buddy Program links a child and a volunteer adult mentor in a supervised setting to read and share. The student benefits from the positive recognition and individual attention the adult mentor can provide. Reading Buddies spend one hour a week with their students, first eating a snack together, then spending the rest of the time in a variety of activities such as reading together, playing games or talking. Volunteer mentors must complete a training prior to being matched with their Reading Buddy. This program requires registration, but has no fees.
If you would like to be an adult mentor or would like to register a Reading Buddy student, please contact the Center Assistant at 265-5326 ext. 317.
