Reading Buddies are a key part of our programs and provide the essential reading comprehension assistance to a student once a week. As a Reading Buddy, you will help a child develop their comprehension skills through reading high-quality literature to them. Above all, you will be a positive role model who encourages them and makes reading fun!
Why we need YOU: In 2021, 59 percent of white third graders were reading on level, compared to 26 percent of Latino students and 22 percent of African Americans, according to Dallas education advocacy coalition Commit. Readers 2 Leaders needs your help to increase the number of students reading at or above grade level by reading to struggling readers, one-on-one or in small groups.
When: June 20th - July 26th, Monday-Thursday (you can select the day of the week that works best for your schedule)
- Time: Two session opportunities to choose from: Morning 9:45-11:35am or Afternoon 1:45-3:35pm
How To Get Started: Once you know what day(s) and times work best for you, please visit the following link to submit your contact information and availability. We will be in contact with you regarding scheduling.
