Help a child at a local school become a reader by providing 1:1 encouragement and support.
Coram Beanstalk helps children become readers. You will provide weekly, one-to-one encouragement and support to help children aged 3-11 start reading, keep reading and read more, increasing their confidence and self-esteem and raising attainment and future aspirations. You will be matched to one of our local partner primary school. We provide interactive training sessions and ongoing support once you are matched to a school.
