The charity Schoolreaders places volunteers in primary schools to listen to children read on a one to one basis.
One in four primary school children leave school without reaching the necessary government literacy standard.
We are desperately looking for volunteers in Bridport for the local primary school.
Volunteers only need a spare hour or two a week and a good command of the English language.
It is very rewarding.
Now early retired, I have had lifelong love of reading and raised two boys., now both successful happy adults. One of my boys had learning difficulties and has community living care support from Somerset social services so I would like to give something back.
