How it works for young readers:

  • Register for the event.
  • Bring favorite books, or pick one of ours when you get here--we have plenty!
  • Stuffed animals are welcome!
  • Read and engage in fun activities with teen volunteers.
  • Have fun!

Reading Buddies is a space for K-5 graders to practice reading in a relaxed and welcoming group! Reading Buddies inspires a love of reading, offers great social activities for children and teens, and promotes positive interactions between children of all ages. Teens earn a service learning hour by participating in a meaningful experience by encouraging children and helping them with their reading skills.
