Ready for Reading

Our Ready for Reading program places reading volunteers in local preschools and elementary schools (grades pre-K - 1st grade). These reading volunteers act as reading role models. 

Our reading volunteers read on a weekly basis to small groups of children or one-on-one. The weekly schedule allows the students to get to know the volunteers well and anticipate their visits with much excitement. Story time training is provided several times during the year to aid the volunteers in being effective with the children. 

For more information about becoming a weekly reading role model, call 615.255.1820 or email volunteers@bookem-kids.org.
