Reading Together program fosters the joy of reading and boosts reading skills through mentorship and creative play.
As a Reading Mentor you will be paired with a 1st-5th grade student that are reading slightly below reading level to practice reading, share encouragement and build their confidence with reading. Pairs are based on the location you select and time you are available each week for 45 minute sessions to work on grade-level reading skills which may include, reading, drawing, literacy activities and games.
