School Readers
Schoolreaders need volunteers to go into local primary schools in a range of areas across Essex during the school day to listen to the children read to them 1:1. The volunteer needs to be able to commit to once a week during term time for one hour or more.
Our volunteers get enormous pleasure from seeing the difference that a few hours of their time can make to a child's reading ability, confidence, and enjoyment.
What Are Schoolreaders Looking For?
If you have some time to spare, a good grasp of written English, and enjoy spending time with children, you could become a Schoolreader.
Skills
We do not ask for any particular qualifications, but Schoolreaders need to enjoy spending time with children, have a good grasp of written and spoken English, and be able to commit to attend school weekly during term time for a minimum of 1 year.
Each school uses our volunteers differently, so some volunteers see the same few children each week, while others get to spend time with every member of the class over a term.
