Coram Beanstalk Reading Helper (Primary School)
Coram Beanstalk
Help a child at a local school become a reader by providing 1:1 encouragement and support.
Reading Helpers are adult volunteers living or working within a 5 mile radius of a school that has asked for our help. You need to commit to at least an afternoon a week for a whole year during term-time, and as we invest in your training we'd appreciate it if you could stay longer. The role isn't about listening to children read, but creating a relaxed session that allows children to work alongside you to discover the joy of books.
