Ages 5 to 9. Children will enjoy one-on-one time with a French speaking volunteer. Together, they will read stories and play interactive literacy-based games in French to grow their love of reading.
Volunteers provide one-on-one interactive support for young readers. Ideally, children will be paired with the same Big Buddy for the duration of the program. Reading Buddies foster positive social interactions, share books, practice writing and reading comprehension and play interactive literacy-based games.
Sessions are 1 hour per week on Tuesdays from 5:00 – 6:00 pm for 6 weeks:
October 25, November 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
Parents are required to remain in the Library branch for the duration of the program.
