The gift of time is priceless.

Join READ ON at CARE

READ ON volunteers at CARE Elementary commit to spending time at least twice a month between 1:30 and 3:30 pm with the students reading aloud. Reading one-on-one with a young student gives them the joy of that special cozy experience, sometimes for the very first time. This is always a rewarding time for the volunteers and the students.

The Importance of Reading Aloud to Students of All Grades and Levels:
In a recent Reading Horizons webinar, Author Sarah Collinge, discussed the importance of reading aloud to students of all reading levels and the impact this simple practice can have on increasing students’ reading levels.

There is a tremendous need for caring adults to read or work with children one-on-one in the afternoon between 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm. Great books and a comfortable reading environment are provided and volunteers and students find the experience to be extremely rewarding.

The Impact of Your Time:
Your time will be impactful as you help our students develop that lifelong love for reading. Studies show that reading aloud at a young age is the foundation for literacy development. It is the single most important activity for reading success (Bredekamp, Copple, & Neuman, 2000).
