    Description

    Become a Summer Reading Buddy and make a positive impact in a child's reading journey over the summer months! Summer Reading Buddies are matched one-on-one or in small groups with children in grades 1-5. Using books and worksheets, each Summer Reading Buddy works with the children to practice their reading skills or complete a related activity.

    This project runs on Mondays in Port Chester, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Yonkers and Fridays in Ossining.
