Reading Buddies is a read-aloud program for students in first, second, and third grade. The program operates at Fletcher-Maynard Academy and the Kennedy-Longfellow School at lunchtime. Adult readers who work for CSV's corporate partners, as well as individual volunteers from the community, read aloud weekly or biweekly to the same child throughout the school year. Every student in a grade in these two schools is matched with a volunteer reading buddy!
