More than half of all kindergartners in our state are entering school without the social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills they need to be successful. Research shows that those who start behind often stay behind. We're looking for friendly, dependable people to read with young kids one-on-one (not group reading) at select preschools, Head Start classrooms, and child care centers throughout King County. Reading to kids helps ensure they are ready to succeed and thrive when they enter kindergarten. Visit www.uwkc.org/readers and click the "register today" link at the bottom of our webpage to get involved OR call (206) 461-5017. All opportunities are between 8am-5pm Monday to Friday. We ask for a 6-month weekly commitment. |
