Little Reading Buddy Application

 
100% of survey complete.
Reading Buddies is a free program at Caldwell Public Library that pairs teen library volunteers in Grades 8-12 with Caldwell-West Caldwell students in Grades K-5 who want to practice their reading skills. Each teen is paired with a Little Buddy to work one-on-one for a 30-45 minute session of reading and listening practice plus reading-related games. Parents or caregivers are expected to remain in the library during the session.

Please complete the form below to register. Space is limited and participation is based on the number of teen Reading Buddies involved. For questions and additional information, contact librarian@caldwellpl.org or call Ms. Jessica at 973-226-1636.

* 6. Reading Buddies Agreement
I am aware of the dates and requirements of the program. I agree to notify Ms. Jessica at Caldwell Library and my child's Reading Buddy if my child is unable to attend a session. If my child misses 2 or more sessions, his or her Reading Buddy may be assigned to work with another child.
I understand that I must remain at the library during each weekly session.
I agree to help my child participate fully in this program by arriving on time and by encouraging my child to continue his/her reading practice at home.

Thank you! We will send you an email to confirm that we have received your child's registration. You will be notified when a teen Reading Buddy is paired up with your child.
