Word Busters

One hour a week can make a difference in the literacy of a child.

Do you enjoy working with children? Would you like to help boost the reading and learning skills of local students? If so, you may want to become a Word Buster! The Word Busters program is made up of volunteers who spend, on average, one hour per week working with students in local primary classrooms.

At the kindergarten level, volunteers help students learn letter names, sounds, and the first sight words. In the first and second grades, volunteers help students master a list of 300+ high frequency sight words and reinforce other reading skills being taught at these grade levels.

Volunteers need no prior knowledge or training. The Word Busters program provides volunteer training and support.
