Calgary Reads @ School

Love to read? Passionate about literacy? Enjoy working with young children who need your reading support? Become a trained volunteer tutor. By spending just 40 minutes, twice weekly for 16 weeks with a struggling Grade 1 or 2 student, you can help a child become a confident, successful independent reader. Tutors receive training to follow the Calgary Reads lesson framework that includes a variety of effective reading strategies. Calgary Reads schools arrange times most convenient for our tutors.

 

Calgary Reads Together Event Volunteers

Throughout the school year children and adults celebrate reading with our Together Events. These events bring educators, students, parents, volunteers and businesses together for an hour long reading celebration. Volunteers are needed to share in the joy of reading with the children.

I like being part of the nurturing process – helping children to realize increased self-confidence and to discover their literary potential.
