Our volunteers visit their matched school once a week for an hour or two during the school day where they work individually with children to help improve their reading ability, their comprehension and also their enjoyment of reading. Often our volunteers read with children who need extra support or who do not have anyone to read to outside of their classroom.
Our volunteers need tp be over 18, have good written and spoken English and enjoy spending time with children. They do not need to have any specific skills pr prior experience but will need to have a DBS check carried out, at no cost to themselves. They need to commit to staying at their school for a full year but holidays can be taken during this time.
Our volunteers would be matched with a primary school that they are happy to travel to. Unfortunately, we are unable to reimburse travel expenses.
