Schoolreaders are looking for volunteers across Norfolk to read with children 1:1 to help improve their reading skills and develop in them a love of reading.
Our volunteers get enormous pleasure from seeing the difference that a few hours of their time can make to a child's reading ability, confidence and enjoyment.
If you have some time to spare, a good grasp of spoken and written English and if you enjoy spending time with children, you could become a Schoolreaders volunteer. Our volunteers are drawn from all walks of life, and range in age from 18+.
Volunteers need to commit to attend school weekly during term time for a minimum of 1-2 hours. We ask for a commitment of 1 year as this is where we see the most progress in a child's reading, although time off for holidays or appointments can of course be taken.
You can complete an application form online or contact us direct and we can send a paper version in the post to you. All volunteers will be subject to DBS checks which will be carried out by their matched school. Volunteers will be provided with safeguarding and phonics training with Schoolreaders and schools will provide guidance to support volunteers reading with children.
