Reading Buddies

Reading Buddies program helps children build positive relationships with reading and writing. Children in grades 1-3 are matched with an adult volunteer or University of Colorado student for 10-12 sessions. Each week, Reading Buddies pairs spend 90 minutes playing games, reading books, and writing their own story, while having fun and building confidence. 
This program is offered in the Fall, Spring, and Summer free of cost. Sign up today! 

 

Applications for Reading Buddies are currently being accepted for the Fall 2024 semester!
