Reading Coaches-Read Easy Ealing

Start Date: 20/09/2024

Reading Coaches-Read Easy Ealing

Read Easy helps adults who need support with reading. We know that 7% of adults in Ealing can’t read or struggle with everyday reading, and we’re passionate about transforming more lives in the community through our proven, confidential programme of free, one-to-one, volunteer-led adult reading coaching.

We are specifically looking for reading coaches in Northolt, Greenford, South Harrow and Southall

Initial coach training will be provided- this comprises 2 half day sessions delivered over zoom. A further day’s training is provided once the coach/ reader has completed the first part of the reading programme. We offer continued support throughout the reader/ coach journey via our coordinators, literary specialist and coach meetings. We also provide our coaches with resources to enhance their coaching
