Leading to Reading
Another school year has begun, and for those children who struggle with reading, surviving another year may seem a daunting task.
Leading to Reading is a free, literacy-based program that assists children in Grades 1-6 who struggle with reading.
Through the assistance of volunteers, the program strives to turn reading and learning into a fun and positive experience.
The program pairs participating children with a volunteer whom they meet with once a week, at the library, for an hour. Under the supervision and guidance of Leading to Reading staff, volunteers assist the children in further developing their reading through various activities. Activities include reading together, as well as, playing and engaging in reading related games.
If you have a child who struggles with reading, and would like them to participate in Leading to Reading, please visit the Leading to Reading website for details on how to enroll your child in the program. If you would like to volunteer with the Leading to Reading program, please visit our Leading to Reading Volunteers website for details on how to apply to volunteer. Volunteers are always needed!
