Assisting Berkshire Children to read

ABC to read provide schools with volunteer reading mentors who will motivate, raise self-esteem and help each child they work with to enjoy reading.  Their volunteers bring along their own box of books and games provided by ABC to read and make reading fun! They work weekly with each child they support (usually 3 children per volunteer).

They also have a Buddy workshop where they deliver mentor workshops to older students so that they can support younger students for whom reading is a challenge.  Giving them leadership skills and school cohesion.
