Reading Helpers are adult volunteers living or working within a 5 mile radius of a school that has asked for our help. We would like you to be available at least an afternoon a week for a whole year during term-time, and as we invest in your training we’d appreciate it if you could stay longer.
The role isn’t about listening to children read, but creating a relaxed session that allows children to work alongside you to discover the joy of books.
Coram Beanstalk is a national children’s charity with over 50 years’ experience of supporting children to become confident, independent readers.
We believe that every child has potential. But for many, limited one-to-one support, a lack of books that reflect their interests and a home without reading advocates can make learning to read feel like building a Lego castle without the instructions.
And that's where we – and you - come in.
We train and support community volunteers to give children something powerful - time, connection and joy - a shared love of books and the opportunity to dream.
