Looking forward to seeing you there!
As many of you know, Harvard has been working hard to unify the different schools within the university. (This is the reason for the changes in the academic calendar this year). In order to help the administration with this goal, we would love to hear how your experiences have been with cross-registration. Please be as specific as possible so we can try to streamline the process (aka what elements have and have not worked for you).
Thanks!
Join Reading Buddies/Lectores y Amiguitos Today!
The Reading Buddies Program pairs HGSE students, staff and other Harvard affiliated volunteers with second graders at the Amigos Elementary School, a dual language immersion school in Cambridge. During weeks when the second grade student group is instructed in English, Reading Buddy Volunteers read aloud and share conversation with students on designated Thursdays listed below from 12:05 to 12:45 pm.
Reading Buddy volunteers learn how reading aloud promotes literacy in a training session led by Amigos School educators and CSV staff. Several other activities are a part of the program such as events around the holidays and a year-end picnic for students and volunteers.
Lectores y Amiguitos, the partner program to Reading Buddies, is a Spanish language volunteer program in which fluent Spanish speakers from HGSE and the Harvard community read to second graders at the Amigos Elementary School. Volunteers read aloud and share conversation in Spanish with students approximately every Thursday from 12:05 – 12:45 pm.
There are four different ways in which you can volunteer your time: If you would like to sign up for the Reading Buddies Program, there are two different groups that each read to their student every other week. You are free to sign up for one or both of those groups.
For the Lectores y Amiguitos Program, there is one group that reads to their students each week.
Because the program focuses on the one-to-one interaction of the student and the reader, we do ask that you make a commitment to read to your student on each day that your group is scheduled. To view the schedule for each group, visit the Reading Buddies website.
Additionally, if you feel like you cannot commit to reading each week or every other week, you can also sign up to become an on-call substitute reader.
To sign up for the Reading Buddies/Lectores y Amiguitos Program, please view the sign up sheet.
To learn more about these programs, contact the Office of Student Affairs at 617-495-8035 or Reading_Buddies@gse.harvard.edu.
