What is Seacoast Reads?

Seacoast Reads is a local implementation of the America Reads Challenge.
Our Mission is
♦ to help children increase proficiency in reading and writing
♦ to develop self-confidence and
♦ to encourage a love of reading.

Seacoast Reads places UNH volunteers into local elementary schools and after-school programs to help 2nd and 3rd grade students improve their reading and writing skills.

Each volunteer travels with a group to their site twice per week throughout the semester and works one-on-one with their "reading buddy," reading books aloud together, practicing writing, and playing word games.
