Coram Beanstalk Reading Helper Role
We create readers because when a child becomes a reader, they get the very best chance in life, and every child deserves that.
At Coram Beanstalk we believe that life is better when everyone can read well and express themselves with confidence. That's why we recruit, train and support volunteers to work with primary aged children to help them find a love of reading.
As a reading helper you will support the same few children each week on a 1 to 1 basis. It’s a fun role that’s about much more than just listening to children read. You will support children to become readers. You will be trained in a proven approach and will lead sessions for each child that bring fun and enjoyment to the reading experience, ultimately wanting the child to choose to read!
Reading helpers read to the child, talk about the book and use fun book based activities to reinforce understanding, develop vocabulary and further cement enjoyment through a positive reading experience. We know this approach works and raises reading attainment, with 1:1 sessions bringing additional benefits of improving confidence, self-esteem and attitude.

At Coram Beanstalk we believe that reading opens the door to a brighter future. That's why we recruit, train and support volunteers to provide one-to-one reading support to children who struggle with their reading ability and confidence.
