Chatham-Kent Public Library’s popular Reading Buddies program is back.
The six-week initiative offers free one-on-one assistance to youngsters from grades 1 to 6, to help them improve their literacy skills. Volunteers spend 30 minutes per week with a child, focusing on literacy-based games, activities and reading.
Reading Buddies is offered at the Chatham branch on Monday evenings from Jan. 15 to Feb. 19. Appointment times are available between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
To register online, email cklibrary@chatham-kent.ca or phone 519-354-2940. Spaces are limited.
