Reading Practice for Children in Grades 2–4
Envision Financial Reading Buddies is a time to practice reading together. Children are paired with a teen volunteer and will spend time reading together in a safe, supportive environment. Sessions are 60 minutes long and meet once per week for 6 weeks in the Spring and Fall. The program is designed to support children who are new readers and helps to build their confidence and improve their skills.
Children (Little Buddies)
Little Buddies will have the opportunity to engage with a teen Big Buddy, building relationships and practicing literacy skills. Children must have some reading ability already as this program does not teach them how to read.
How To Register
Registration for Little Buddies for the fall sessions will begin 3 weeks before the program begins. Please bookmark this page and check back for updates.
Fall 2022 Sessions
New sessions will be offered in the Fall. This schedule may be subject to change.
