Reading and bringing language enjoyment to a family with children (2-8 years) in a poor language environment.
As a reader you read weekly to children between the ages of 2 and 9 who need extra support for their language development. You come to the family home 20 times, on a set evening and time. You will be guided by a coordinator and you will receive training in 'interactive reading' from the Wageningen Library. The VoorleesExpress is a special and educational experience for both families and readers.
What are you going to do?
As a reader you slowly get parents and children used to interactive reading, books and stories and show how much fun reading (aloud) is. In addition, you can do additional activities such as singing songs and language games to stimulate language development. You also visit the library with the family. With the family, you look at how the reading fits best in their home situation and you give the parent (s) tools to take over for themselves.
Due to the corona measures , we do not now come into the homes of families. We read digitally (you will receive training in this) or deliver booklets at the door so that parents can start on their own. Sometimes you can read outside. As soon as it is allowed, we will of course read to the house again!
What do you have to be able to do?
-Like to interact with children
-Have affinity with children's books and read aloud
-Can speak Dutch well
-Flexible and problem solving, patient
-Easily accessible
-You can live in families from different backgrounds
-Punctual, stick to agreements
- Older than 18 years old
If you start working for us, we will apply for a VOG for you
What do we offer?
-A nice volunteer place with families of different origins
-A training of the Specialist Education of the Library and access to the E-learning tool of the Nationale VoorleesExpress
Exchange of experiences with other volunteers
- Guidance by a volunteer coordinator
-One year free subscription from the Wageningen Library
What makes it worthwhile?
It is a lot of fun to watch children improve!
