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. This is an in-person session.
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 registering automatically signs your reader up for all 4 weekly sessions: October 6-27. If you cannot attend on a given week, please email the Middendorf-Kredell Branch at mkprograms@stchlibrary.org or call (636-978-7926) so that we can plan accordingly. There is also a 6:00pm 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.
If you need accommodations for this class, please contact the Library as soon as you are able to after registering.
