Literacy Project

Literacy tutors from TBZ have helped Boston schoolchildren learn to read for the past seven years at the Winship School in Brighton Center. Volunteering for one hour each week, we are making a real difference in the lives of students by opening the world of reading to them. Choose the hour that works for you and come read with a child, talk about the stories, play rhyming games and help them with writing and understanding. They are excited to see us each week, and many have formed close friendships with their tutors.

Training is available through the Jewish Coalition for Literacy. Support is available throughout the year from partnering teachers, the reading specialist in the Winship School, and JCL coordinator Kim Meyers. Please contact Kim for more information if you are interested in volunteering
