Program Description
Event Details
Does your child need practice reading aloud? Try Book Buddies! Kids will be partnered with teen volunteers and will spend 25 minutes each week reading aloud to them.
Book Buddies is recommended for students who have completed Kindergarten through 4th Grade, though readers of any grade level looking for reading practice are welcome to sign up. Book Buddies is not a tutoring session, but an opportunity for kids to practice reading with confidence in a non-judgmental space.
*Please note that when registering, you are registering for this date only. Please go to the other dates to sign up for those sessions, this is a four week series: Wednesday, March 8, March 15, March 22, and March 29.
If you cannot attend on a given week, please email the Kathryn Linnemann Branch at randerson@stchlibrary.org or call (636-946-6294) so that we can plan accordingly. There is also a 4:30 pm session; please only register for one time slot.
We will provide reading materials, but feel free to bring your own! Caregivers must remain in the Library during the session, but do not need to be in the room during the program. Please register with your child's name.
