Book Buddies is a program that works with elementary schools to develop and implement specialized lesson plans so each student is able to get one-on-one help and encouragement. Children who are not fluent readers by fourth grade are likely to struggle with reading into adulthood, and teachers are not always able to give the individualized time children need to grasp this important skill. We are currently looking for adults who are willing to give one or two hours per week to mentor a first grader in reading at Taylor or Cleveland Elementary Schools. With fun, engaging reading activities and word games, the students work their way to higher reading levels. Periodic group outings give Buddies more opportunities to connect and get to know each other.
Book Buddies training sessions are going on now, so become a Buddy today!
