Reading volunteers for primary schools

Opportunity hosted by: Schoolreaders
Description:

Schoolreaders volunteers are matched with a local primary school where they visit weekly and listen to children read individually to help improve their reading and comprehension skills and also foster a love of reading. Reading for pleasure at a young age has a significant impact in how children are able to access their secondary education and also on their future life chances.
Volunteers need to be able to commit to weekly visits to their school, on a day and time that suits them within the school day, for at least a year (holidays and appointments can be taken during this time).
