R.E.A.D. Program
Our Fall 2020 R.E.A.D. Program (Reading Enjoyment and Development) will be online, with parents required to attend an online information session before registering their child.
Online READ Program
Children in grades 1-7 who are struggling or reluctant readers can receive one-on-one virtual help this school year in French or English.
Weekly sessions will use email and video chat between September 21, 2020 and Spring 2021.
Interested parents are required to attend one of our Parent Information Sessions to find out more about program and registration details.
Sessions will be online and consist of an email exchange and mid week video chat between the volunteer and child each week.
Online sessions will run each week between late September 2020 and April 2021.
For more information, attend one of our online parent information sessions or contact the Library's Literacy Facilitator, Frances Cutt at frances.cutt@lpl.ca or (519) 521-5921

“My son’s reading has improved so much over the last year. He reads more in school, on the computer and even reads to us on occasions. His grades have gone from 50’s to 70’s in his highschool scores. He has more confidence when ordering meals off menus now. R.E.A.D. parent
It's fun, you get to play games. I’m better at writing and reading, but I like playing the games. And I like hanging out with my reading buddy. R.E.A.D. child age 8
I am involved in ...READ, which pairs adults with children who are having difficulty reading. [This has] gifted me with many cherished experiences and new relationships as well as offering some very interesting insights into language and writing. And, well, it feels good too. R.E.A.D. volunteer
