Do you love reading and think it is important for all children to develop reading skills? Become a Virtual Reading Mentor and read one-on-one with a student in K-2nd grade!
Reading Mentors will facilitate weekly one-on-one video calls with their assigned reader on our Virtual StoryTent platform. During these meetings, Reading Mentors will be asked to read with the child, as well as distribute Book Bucks for each book the child has read. The earned Book Bucks can then be used by the reader to purchase prizes on our online Prize Portal. These prizes will be delivered to the readers free of charge!
Grateful,
Angel Olayo Espinoza (Angel@travelingstories.org)
Upcoming Virtual StoryTent programs run for 9 consecutive weeks (Starting the week of January 24th & ending the week of March 22nd).
