Interested, caring, well-trained, volunteer reading mentors are the backbone of the Time To Read program.

To be effective reading mentors, volunteers are not expected to become reading teachers. Rather, the training goal is to be comfortable using Time To Read methods and materials, in order to foster learners' literacy skills and reading confidence. Mentors also should be ready to serve as literacy role models, showing learners how they use reading and writing daily and why good literacy skills are important in all walks of life.
