If you love to read and are interested in working with children, consider becoming a volunteer with the One to One Children’s Literacy Program. One to One reading programs take place in many elementary schools.
Parent and community volunteers are needed to support our students with their reading. The commitment is 1.5 hours per week for 10 weeks starting mid-October. A three hour training session for all volunteers in basic reading strategies is mandatory as well as a criminal record check. Training sessions will be held on:
• Tuesday, Sept. 29 from 9 a.m. to noon at Hillcrest Elementary School in Salmon Arm;
• Tuesday, Sept. 29 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Armstrong Elementary School;
• Wednesday, Sept. 30 from 9 a.m. to noon at South Broadview Elementary.
To sign on as a tutor or for further information, please contact Jennifer Findlay, Literacy Outreach Coordinator, at 250-833-2095 or admin@shuswapliteracy.ca.
