Corporate Volunteer Reading Helper
Description
ARCh Reading Helpers go into schools once a week for an hour to support children in 1:1 reading sessions. You spend 30 minutes with each child you see, reading books, playing games, and giving the children a safe space to develop their confidence. You see the same children each time you go into school for an academic year, meaning that over time you really see them grow and thrive!
