Does your child struggle with confidence when it comes to reading?

Reading Buddies pairs your 1st-3rd grade child with a trained teen volunteer to encourage a love of reading.

During weekly sessions, Buddies will read books, play fun literacy-based games together and bond over the power of stories. Reading Buddies is not a tutoring service.

Space is limited and your participation in the program is not guaranteed until all applications have been reviewed and we have been able to match your child with a Teen Buddy volunteer.

Reading Buddies takes place for seven weeks on Tuesdays, January 21-March 4 from 4:15-5:15 P.M. at Central Library.
