Share Your Love of Reading If you’d like to help instil a love of reading in children, consider volunteering your time as a ‘Ready Reader’. Research shows extra one-on-one reading time is invaluable to all children, but can bring particular benefits to children struggling with their early reading skills.
Queensland Ready Readers is a state government campaign to boost the literacy skills of Queensland students by recruiting an army of 3000 volunteers to read with children in their local schools.
All volunteers will be trained and required to go through the standard checks for working with children. The program will be rolled out state-wide next year. To find out more or register, visit the Volunteering Queensland website at www.volqld.org.au
