Impact Statement
Our French Reading Buddy program allows students in Grades 2 to 4 to practice their reading in a fun and supportive learning environment.
As a Reading Buddy, you will encourage reluctant readers to read aloud, offer reading strategies when needed, and play literacy-based games. Reading Buddies want to share their love of reading with children and are willing to provide children with meaningful learning experience
