It only takes an hour a week to make a difference to a child.
Research shows that third graders who have proficient reading skills are nearly five times more likely to graduate high school than their peers who do not; yet in many of our area schools, over 70% of third graders test below proficient for on-track readiness in English Language Arts.
Reading Coaches for Kids is a volunteer tutoring program designed to increase students' reading abilities and academic success. Dedicated, caring volunteers provide consistency and educational support by reading individually with students. This is done during the school day in K-5 classrooms, after school programs and summer school throughout Brown County, helping them improve their reading skills.
Though Reading Coaches may be any age over 18, we are especially looking for volunteers ages 55+ to be a part of the Retired/Senior Volunteer Program to provide intergenerational experiences.
*Note - Due to funding requirements, senior volunteers(55+) must reside in Brown County, Wisconsin.
