Are you interested in learning more about the West Virginia Read Aloud program and becoming a volunteer reader in a Jefferson County school? Check out the information below...
Our orientation has been designed to provide readers with an overview of the Read Aloud West Virginia program. Each 60-minute session addresses the why, what, and how of a classroom read-aloud session. Among the topics covered are: Research based educational benefits of reading aloud, classroom (and/or other public settings) guidelines and expectations, choosing books that are age-appropriate for various ages, techniques to engage students in the read-aloud experience, and finally, procedures for being placed in a particular classroom or setting.
At the end of the orientation, you'll be asked to fill out a Reader Preference form. With this information, as schools enroll, we'll be able to match you with a classroom that has signed up for a reader and we'll be able to send your Read Aloud identification card to you.
We are VERY grateful for your interest and hope that one of these session dates and times will be convenient for you. If you are unable to attend any of these sessions, we will retain your information and notify you as others are scheduled. All sessions cover the same information and potential volunteers only need to attend one session.
