Connect with the crew at our Canal Winchester branch for an hour each week, and help guide young minds as they learn to read. Children read to you for 15 minutes, and your job is:
- To help them when they need it
- Challenge them when it sounds too easy, and
- Guide them to new books and the fun of reading.
Research from Ohio State University shows that every Reading Buddies session improves children's scores on the reading tests.
If you want to share your great love of books and reading with a child, this is the place to be!
Days: Tuesday and Wednesday
Time: 4 to 5 p.m.
