Help children discover a love for reading! Reading Buddies spend one half-hour with their buddy each week. You’ll get to build a bond with your buddy, as well as show him/her the value of adult support. Based on the student’s reading level, Reading Buddies read to the child, read with a child, or have the child read to them.
