Your assignment would be for the same day/time each week for approximately 30 minutes. You remain with your assigned class for the entirety of the school year in order to develop long-lasting, meaningful bonds with the students. Virtual and in-person opportunities available!
YOU can contribute to reducing the education gap in St. Louis by becoming one of our trained Volunteer Readers!

Ready Readers expands literacy for young children in low-income communities through high-quality books, strong relationships, and literacy related experiences.
Ready Readers is an early literacy program that inspires preschool-age children, ages 5 and under, to develop a love of reading. Ready Readers places volunteer Readers in early childhood classroom settings located in low-income communities. These volunteers read high-quality children’s literature to the same children each week in order to develop strong, meaningful bonds with the children in their class. In addition, Ready Readers gives each child 7-8 brand new books annually to take home and enjoy again and again.
Ready Readers is preparing our low-income, preschool children to become readers. Because, kids who read succeed in school, work and life.
