Read Easy Hackney is affiliated to Read Easy UK, a national organisation that helps adults to learn to read. Trained volunteer reading coaches are matched one-to-one with non- or beginner readers. Read Easy Hackney is the first London-based group of Read Easy UK and currently has more than 30 reading pairs. We are now looking to recruit reading coaches with DAY TIME availability on WEEKDAYS. Anyone who can read fluently and has the time to spare can apply to become a Read Easy Reading Coach. You do not need special qualifications as the reading scheme is designed for anyone to use. Reading Coaches are asked to commit to meeting with their reader twice a week for 30 minutes at a time. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A LONG TERM COMMITMENT - we would like coaches to be available for coaching for at least a year. Becoming a reading coach can be a life-changing experience for the volunteer as well as the new reader. Full training and support is provided.
