Teens have the wonderful volunteer opportunity to help a child improve his or her reading through the Reading Rocks! Program.
The program works like this: Teens are read to by elementary school-age kids to help them practice their reading skills, keep up their reading over the summer and gain confidence in reading. You help the child pick out a book of interest from a book cart; gently correct mispronunciations and provide lots of encouragement to keep them motivated. If you have younger siblings, this is a great opportunity for them to improve their reading skills.
