Even before Covid, 1 in 4 children left primary school unable to read to the expected standard and the situation is now much worse, particularly for the most disadvantaged children. Schoolreaders provides primary schools with dedicated reading volunteers who listen to children read on a one-to-one basis, providing crucial face-to-face support and encouragement in the familiarity of the school environment. Schools and teachers are experts in nurturing and educating their pupils and they can deploy our volunteers how they wish to help children who need the most support. Our volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of a year (usually visiting once a week during term time for around two hours) enabling them to build a rapport with pupils and providing stability for the school.
