  • Help a young reader by being a kind and patient listener!
  • Read and engage in fun activities with young readers to build their confidence. 
  • Earn one (1) service learning hour for school!

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.
