What You'll Do:

Volunteers spend 10-15 minutes with each child, listening to the child read, reading to the child, talking about what is happening in the book and looking at the pictures. The reading sessions should be fun for both the children and the volunteer.

Volunteers join the school community and independently run reading sessions, supported by class teachers and the Schoolreaders team.
