Reading volunteers work with elementary school-age children to promote reading. They may read books to children, listen to children read aloud, or distribute books to school children. Reading volunteers promote the activity of reading, rather than focusing on teaching reading skills.

Reading volunteers may read to a whole class of children, to a small group, or be assigned a child to read to one-on-one. Reading volunteers may work with programs offered by schools, after-school programs, or public libraries.

The time reading volunteers spend with new readers provides encouragement while learning to read. Learning a new skill takes time and patience. Having support from someone else can help keep a child’s interest strong while learning to read.

My name is Linh. I’m a pupil at Kim Dong Primary School. I’m in class 5A with Lee and John. I love reading comic books. I often read them in my free time. When I see a new word, I try to guess its meaning. I write the word in my notebook and say it many times. I often stick new words on my bedroom walls and practise reading them aloud. Lee and John love learning English too. We often learn to speak English by talking with our foreign friends in our free time. Lee is very good at English. She usually practises listening by watching cartoons on TV. She learns to write my writing emails to her friends every day. John loves reading. He goes to the library twice or three times a week.
