One caring adult can make a world of impact in the life of a child. Become a ReadingPal!
ABOUT READINGPALS
Do you have a passion for education, an excitement for reading, or a desire to impact a child's life? With just 45 minutes a week, you can make a difference. Become a ReadingPal and help a child on their path to kindergarten readiness.
ReadingPals spend 45-minutes per week during the school year mentoring a Pre-K student (aged 4-5). Using books, puzzles, Play-Doh, and other supplied learning activities, ReadingPals help their students to build early literacy and social-emotional skills necessary for kindergarten success. Mentors get to choose their preferred school site (based on availability from the list below) and which day of the week works best for their schedule.
Mentors receive training and ongoing support. A Level II background screening paid for by ReadyKids! is required. Volunteers must be 18 or older.
For questions about ReadingPals, please contact Program Manager, Kari Lindemann, at Kari@ReadyKidsFL.org or 850-572-3674.
