‘wee read’ is about reading aloud and sharing the joy of reading with kindergarten and Grade 1 students. Most of our reading volunteers start as ‘wee read’ volunteers, and commit to 30 minutes per week for 8 weeks.

‘Read Up!’ is about reading with a young reader in Grade 1 or 2. Volunteers usually have experience in the ‘wee read’ program before graduating to ‘Read Up!’. ‘Read Up!’ volunteers receive advanced tutoring training and commit to two 45 minutes sessions, for at least 35 sessions.
