Read With Me

Read With Me was set up at the start of 2020 with the prime objective of ensuring that every primary school child can read well before they move to secondary school. We now have a team of 500 dedicated volunteers that hear children read in nearly 120 schools across Gloucestershire. Read With Me volunteers hear each child read on a one-to-one basis, twice a week, which allows them to develop vital communication and social skills and above all, confidence. We also run Not So Secret Book Clubs during school holidays - these are free half-day events that provide fun activities, crafts, storytime and free books to children in the local community. Registered charity no: 1213580.
