Description:

Join the Delaware Young Professionals Network (DYPN) to volunteer with Read Aloud Delaware. All children in Delaware need to be ready to learn to read when they enter kindergarten. With your help, we can make that happen. Volunteers will read 1-1 with pre-school aged children at Kingswood Community Center in Wilmington, DE. About Read Aloud Delaware:

 

Read Aloud Delaware volunteer readers are welcomed by a room full of excited children whenever they enter a preschool classroom. Each reading encounter is an opportunity to introduce children from 1 to 5 years old to the world of literacy and to spark the desire to become readers. Research has shown that children who are read to from an early age have bigger brains, larger vocabularies, and greater knowledge of the world around them.Most importantly, they are more likely to have mastered language skills which will permit them to interact appropriately with their teachers and their peers. These skills will help them succeed in school and in life.Children who read one-on-one with Read Aloud volunteers are:- More likely to be employed as adults- Less likely to drop out of school- Less likely to depend on public assistance

The Read Aloud Delaware experience sets children on the road to literacy success.
