With the school year coming to a close, one thing parents should be concerned about is the summer slide, that dreaded decline in reading and other academic skills that happens over the summer months.
To prevent this, the Edison Public Library is hosting multiple 30 minute sessions with Reading and Math Buddies!
Our Reading and Math Buddies are teen volunteers who will work with children entering grades 1 through 4 on their reading and math skills. These practice sessions will reinforce the information in your child’s mind and stave off the summer slide.
Each session lasts for 30 minutes, and you can register your child for 30 minutes of reading, 30 minutes of Math, or 15 minutes of both.
Below is a full list of all the available slots, but as space is limited, please only select one time slot at only one branch. (Each registration will give your child one session per week.)
Please arrive at the Children's Room approximately 5 minutes before your session begins. Arrival more than 10 minutes after your session's start time will result in forfeiture of that day's session; there are no make-up sessions available.
It is expected that the child's parent/guardian will remain in the Library during their child's Reading & Math Buddy session. Parents may NOT solicit Teen Buddies for tutoring or babysitting services. |
