MORE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED IN MUNDFORD TO LISTEN TO CHILDREN READ IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS
Can you spare an hour or two a week to listen to children read in a primary school? The reading charity Schoolreaders is looking for volunteers to carry out this important role.
Reading time for many children at home and at school is often insufficient and one in four children are now leaving primary school unable to read to the required standard. This can have a lifelong consequence. No qualifications are necessary, just a good command of spoken and written English.
Schoolreaders is flexible and matches your availability to the closest local school needing this help. Our volunteers find the scheme incredibly rewarding, knowing that a few hours helping a child learn to read each week can have such a great impact on their life chances.
