SUMMARY:Reading Buddies
DESCRIPTION:Children going into Kindergarten to Grade 5 are invited to practice their reading by signing up for a one hour session with one of the library’s teen volunteers.  Sessions include one-on-one reading time as well as fun literacy-related games and activities. \nJULY SCHEDULE \nWednesdays  2-3 PM \nThursdays  2-3 PM \nAdvanced registration required.  Reserve a spot today by phoning or emailing the branch:  250-933-2665 / NanaimoNorth@virl.bc.ca \nReading Buddies is a reading program where children are paired up with a TAG (Teen Advisory Group) volunteer for one-on-one reading sessions in a safe\, fun and friendly environment.  Reading Buddies is not a tutoring program; teen volunteers do not teach children how to read.  Instead\, children develop reading skills by connecting with a big buddy who can show them how much fun reading can be.
