2024-25 Reading Schedule
The Reading Mentoring schedule below is subject to change, but all Reading Sessions take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays around lunchtime. Exact times will be posted in August.

“I have been helping my student develop his reading abilities, love for reading, and conversation skills. I dedicate one lunch break a week to spend time in his classroom reading, sounding out new words, and talking about our week!
This is an incredibly refreshing organization that brings light into even my most stressful weeks – and hopefully his, too!”
