Impact Statement
We provide programs and services through community-wide partnerships to help children learn to read. We assist young children in learning essential early reading skills. Build community by encouraging those who live and work in the community to be involved in supporting its children. Literacy skills are the strongest indicator of a child’s future success in life. The community as a whole needs to take responsibility for helping children learn to read.

Description
Volunteers assist preschool aged children during play and learning activities. They work with a team of instructors to provide children with meaningful learning experiences. Volunteers assist children in performing skills and help to direct children’s attention towards the learning activities that involve learning the sounds that letters make, increasing vocabulary and classroom learning behaviours. The Get Ready for School program is a free school-readiness program, offered in 15 Community Centres in Waterloo Region.
