We create readers: but we can't do it alone! We are looking for volunteers to go into our partner primary schools on a weekly basis and support the same few children to grow a love of reading.
We create readers: but we can't do it alone! We are looking for volunteers to go into our partner primary schools on a weekly basis and support the same few children to grow a love of reading. You will be trained not only on how to listen to children read, but also to read to them, engage in book chat and help them to find a love of books. Once trained you will be given ongoing support and join the Coram Beanstalk volunteer network of over 1000 other reaidng helpers!
