This Book Buddy event will take place at Conmigo on Mondays from 9:00am - 10:00am. The opportunity will last from June 12th to August 3rd.
Hundreds of central Iowa four-year-olds are at risk of not gaining the skills they need to start kindergarten ready to learn. And research shows that children who start behind, stay behind. Book Buddy reaches children in the critical year before kindergarten, helping them build the pre-reading skills they need for a strong start in school. For 60 minutes a week, volunteers read one-on-one for 30 minutes with four-year-old students then 30 minutes with school aged students.
Student assessment results are compelling—91% showed improvement last year—but the increasing confidence in students is the most convincing of all. Their bright smiles will be the highlight of your week!
