Reading buddies are stuffed animals that help children practice reading in a nonjudgmental environment. For a $50 donation per animal, each volunteer will get to stuff an animal, create a birth certificate, decorate the travel case and write a letter from the animal to the child. We can host a build event at our site or yours. If you prefer remote engagement, Buddie kits can be dropped off or shipped to almost any location. Each Reading Buddy given to a child also comes with a brand new children’s book thanks to your donations. Check out www.swhd.org/readingbuddies for more details.
