Genzyme Reading Buddies
Genzyme
Corporation through Cambridge School Volunteers busses employees over
to the Fletcher Maynard Academy to read with a first or second grade
student weekly. Some students maintain the same Reading Buddy for two
years.
Reading Buddies
Cambridge School Volunteers' Reading Buddies program pairs corporate and community volunteers with first and second grade students at Fletcher Maynard Academy for a weekly read-aloud program. Adult volunteers read-aloud to students from a curated library of picture books. Adult readers model fluent reading, help students make connections between the text and their own experiences, and add to students’ content knowledge. The focus is on developing a caring relationship between the child and adult through shared reading.
