Reading Buddies Have Long-Lasting Effects

Reading Buddies

How can you encourage a teenager to finish high school? It might be as simple as reading with a second-grader. Studies show that children who don’t read at their grade level by third grade probably won’t catch up.

As a result, they are more likely to drop out before finishing high school.

Reading Buddy volunteers give 30 minutes a week to read with elementary school children, helping them improve their reading skills and making a lasting difference in the life of each child. There are Reading Buddies in schools across the county. Choose one that’s convenient for you.

To find out more about the Reading Buddies program, call Marshall County RSVP at 256-571-7734.
