Can you help a child to read?

by Schoolreaders

Schoolreaders volunteers visit a local primary school for an hour each week and listen to children read individually. These children often do not have anyone to read to outside of their classroom and so our volunteers give them the opportunity to develop their reading and comprehension skills whilst developing their social skills and hopefully a lifelong love of reading.
