We need volunteers for our Saturday Reading and Math Club at the Milford Library, the book club takes place each Saturday from September, between 9:30 am and 11:00am. The club is designed as a one-on-one reading and as a group reading depending on the participants.
Our objective is to promote reading and math as a lifelong activity, as a fun activity. We also try to help children to enjoy reading and to enjoy logical games.
Key responsabilities would include having children read to you, provide guidance and encouragement, to prepare material for each weekend, to evaluate children.
Please contact us immediately if you are interested. A child who reads becomes an adult who thinks!
