The role of a reading helper places you in the heart of primary school life.
You’ll be leading reading sessions that bring a positive reading experience to children outside of the classroom.
Children will benefit from someone giving them one-to-one attention, showing them how much fun reading can be and the purpose reading has in their lives. You will build a positive learning relationship with individual children aged 4-11, maintaining a regular weekly commitment. This consistency will build confidence, improve their engagement with reading and allow their reading skills to rocket!
We ask our volunteers to commit to attending school weekly during the afternoon where you will see the same few children each week.
You will be matched to one of our local partner primary schools, usually within 5 miles of your home address.
