Reading Help

Literacy is a core skill for everyone in society. Some kids need a little more practice, so the school pairs them up with a volunteer.

Role​

Reading helpers chip in 30mins a week, typically in the afternoon right before pickup (2.15 - 2.45pm). You'll work one-on-one with a kid reading a book - basically they read, and cheer them on, or help them with any words they get stuck with.

This is a role grandparents are welcome to help out with too!
