Help middle school students develop reading skills and become life-long readers!

Partners in Literature is a program in which volunteers lead student groups in discussions of high-interest short stories, poetry, and non-fiction articles to promote reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.

A team of volunteers is in the classroom for 45 minutes once a week during Language Arts classes. Each volunteer works with a small group of 3 to 5 students. The teacher is always in the classroom to provide support. All materials and training are provided.

Program runs during the school year: volunteers are asked to commit through the middle of May.

Interested volunteers should register at http://www.austinpartners.org/volunteers/volunteer_center.shtml, Select Partners in Literature. Volunteers will be contacted about training and placement.
