The Reading Buddy program provided by United Way is returning to Lewis County and volunteers are needed to help tutor elementary school students learning to read.
According to a United Way of Lewis County news release, “Reading Buddies lend community support to schools and teachers and help create a positive reading experience, giving students extra encouragement. One hour a week with a struggling reader is all it takes to make a difference.”
Anyone interested in volunteering must attend a training and orientation session and undergo a school district background check. Volunteers must be willing to commit to around one hour a week to read with struggling students.
