Help children discover the joy of reading!

We’re looking for friendly volunteers to listen to children read at our school. With large class sizes, individual reading time is limited — and that’s where you can make a difference.

Volunteering is flexible — we’ll work around your availability. Plus, you’ll receive simple guidance on how we teach reading, so you feel confident and ready to help.

Whether you're retired, a student, or just have time to spare, your support helps boost confidence, fluency and literacy for children who really need it.

What skills do I need?

Good level of written and spoken English.  This does not mean that English needs to be your first language.
