Buddy Reading is an integral part of Educate Youth’s summer program. Each summer, students spend 30 minutes each day reading in small groups with a staff member. Each time students finish a book, they earn 5 cents per page, and have the opportunity to keep their book, allowing them to build their own personal libraries! Students may also elect to participate in Buddy Reading in the H.O.P.E. After School Program once all school work is completed.
