Reading Volunteer for Primary Schools

Schoolreaders volunteers are matched with a local primary school and visit once a week in term time for an hour or two and read individually with children to help improve their reading skills, their comprehension, their enjoyment of reading and also their social skills.

Whilst this is a term time opportunity, holidays can be taken in this time.

We ask that our volunteers are prepared to attend school at the agreed time on the same day once a week for at least 1 hour, and stay with us for at least one full academic year from when you start in school
