Reading Helper (Primary School) - Wellingborough

Posted for Coram Beanstalk

Reading Helpers are adult volunteers living or working within a 5 mile radius of a school that has asked for our help. You need to commit to 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.

Skills

Enjoy reading, confident to read aloud, patient, flexible, sense of humor, confident in a busy school environment, reliable.
