Reading Buddies provides students in grades TK-5 with an opportunity to improve their reading skills by working one-on-one with a teen reading coach. Reading Buddies creates a positive reading experience for beginning and developing readers and helps children build confidence as readers. Our reading coach will listen to children read and provide support in phonics, sight words, and comprehension. Students can bring their favorite book or choose from the available selection at the Educational Park Branch Library.
Free. Pre-registration not required. However, reading sessions are available on a first come, first served basis and the duration of reading sessions may be limited depending on the number of participating students.
Participants can also use their session to read away their fines! Just inform your Reading Buddy (open to youth only).
