Our volunteer-led
reading programme
Our six-week reading programme involves two 30-minute sessions each week with a child who needs extra support with their reading. This can be either face-to-face in a local primary school, or virtually through our secure online platform.
Our digital platform matches schools with fully safeguarded, vetted and trained reading volunteers in the local community, at the tap of a button.
Schools have flexibility to decide which children will take part in the programme and for how long (six weeks, 12 weeks, or more).
Our volunteers arrange reading sessions via our Volunteer Hub and chat to other volunteers online - making it an easy way to fit volunteering around other commitments.
