Mentors - Reading
ORGANIZATION: RSVP
Please visit the new page to apply.
Every year, from October through April, hundreds of volunteers spend one day a week reading with a child at local elementary schools in Middlebury and Salisbury. During lunchtime, they explore books and literacy activities and help the child build strong self-esteem, reading skills and a lifelong love of books.
A current reading mentor reports that her reading buddy "is a ray of sunshine! He comes in smiling - full of energy and enthusiasm. He has a good sense of humor and makes me laugh. One day he told me, 'I could hardly wait for this day!' He surely made mine."
If you are interested in signing up, please contact 388-7044.
