Grow a love of reading in schools

by Coram Beanstalk

We create readers because when a child becomes a reader, they get the very best chance in life, and every child deserves that.

At Coram Beanstalk we believe that life is better when everyone can read well and express themselves with confidence. That's why we recruit, train and support volunteers to work with primary aged children to help them find a love of reading.
Our volunteers work one-to-one in primary schools with children who would benefit from dedicated time with an adult who can help them with their reading and communication skills.

Organisation description

We train volunteers to go into local partner primary schools to help children grow a love of reading through one-to-one sessions.
