Read with Me!
The SCV Education Foundation
is seeking volunteers to work with students in local elementary
schools to improve their reading skills.
As a READ WITH ME! literacy volunteer, you will work with
students one-on-one or in small groups to assist with improving
reading skills such as word accuracy, fluency, and reading
comprehension. You may also be assisting with math, writing and
other projects. With your assistance students will improve their
reading skills and greatly benefit from receiving individualized
attention. You will have the opportunity to impact a child’s
life.
Volunteers will receive guidance that includes suggestions on
reading with children and information regarding their school.

Marshall at College of the Canyons

The SCV Education Foundation READ WITH ME! program is flexible,
but we would like to stress that consistency is very important
to the students we assist. We ask our volunteers to commit for
several months, one or two days a week for at least two hours a
day.
The READ WITH ME! program does not run every week.
