Book Buddies

Assisting students to become lifelong readers

Making a Difference Image

The Book Buddies program has member volunteers, most of whom are retired teachers, utilizing a phonics-based reading tutoring program for struggling second graders at a local school. Each child receives 30 minutes of tutoring every week for most of the school year.

This program has functioned successfully for ten years and has received several awards.

You may have tangible wealth untold: Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be – I had a mother who read to me.”

Strickland Gillilan, American Poet
