Volunteers

We are a  local charity keen to attract volunteers to join us in supporting schools in raising literacy standards.

You will be given an understanding of the vital importance of phonics when learning to read and how teaching reading has changed in line with the New National Curriculum. Teachers are particularly appreciative of this aspect of the training.

We are looking for committed volunteers with regular weekly time to offer during the school term to support developing readers in schools.

Our volunteers usually go in to school for a half day, so about 2-3hours, some stay longer and provide a full day in school. We would expect that this would be every week during term time.

The one-day training sessions are held every month or so in the Millennium Library in the Norwich Forum or at Town Close School.

If you are interested in attending any of these sessions please go to the Contact Us section.
