Additional Information:

ARCh Reading Helpers visit a local primary school twice a week during the school day (usually early afternoons), spending half an hour each with three children chosen by the school. These children may be struggling with reading, lack language skills or have little confidence. The volunteer talks with the child, shares books and plays games supplied by ARCh. The volunteer will see the same 3 children every week, meaning that a lovely mentoring relationship is developed over the course of a year and you can really see the children flourish!

Volunteers provide a warm, positive experience of reading and with encouragement over a sustained period, reluctant readers gain confidence in their ability and begin to read for pleasure. This one to one support has a positive effect on all areas of the child's schoolwork and improves their life prospects.

We need volunteers who can be relied upon to attend their sessions regularly and volunteer with ARCh for a minimum of one school year.

This role would appeal to anyone who enjoys being with children, loves books and wants to make a difference in their local community.
