Did you know that, on average, eight children in every class at primary school leave unable to read well?
ABC to read is working hard to change that – and you can help.
The charity trains and supports volunteers to become reading mentors in local primary schools. These volunteers work one-to-one with children in relaxed sessions designed to build confidence and develop reading skills.
Using tailored resources provided by ABC to read, mentors read, chat and play games with the children – always with a focus on praise and encouragement. Every child leaves their session feeling successful and excited for the next one.
ABC to read is currently looking for volunteers who love reading, can commit to regular sessions, and believe that every child deserves to discover the book that opens up the world of reading for them.
DBS checks will be carried out by ABC to read.
