Not every child learns to read at the same pace – in fact, many struggle with a range of developmental disabilities that make reading difficult. As a Volunteer Reading Helper, you’ll be making a real difference in a child’s life by assisting with their learning development. You’ll need to be patient and flexible, but the outcome is absolutely worth the effort when you know you’re helping a young person learn a valuable life skill. This is a great gateway position if you’re considering a career in education or social work.
