Reading Program & Tutoring

We have a wonderful time with neighborhood 1st and 2nd graders as we seek to boost their reading skills! Each child is coached for 30 minutes by a volunteer on foundational reading skills and sight word recognition, depending on individual needs. After the coaching session, the children gather as a group for a themed story and craft time. 

Most of the coaches are Saint Louis University students and Third Baptist members. We meet Wednesdays of the school year from 3:00–4:45.

Are you interested? We need more volunteers to work one-on-one with children for the reading session and assist during the group session. Look into this important program and consider joining us to make a difference in a young life!
