Ford Read With Kids

Ford Early Learning Center is a public school in the Ypsilanti Community School District for students in preschool, kindergarten and first grade. Our volunteer program at Ford is designed to give students an opportunity for more one-on-one or small group reading time with an adult. Our intention is to work with teachers to reinforce reading skills and to help kids develop an even greater love of books and written language. We partner with the Children’s Literacy Network in this program and train volunteers to feel comfortable reading selected books in a relaxed setting in the school for 20-minute sessions. We hope that you will consider joining us at Ford for at least one hour each week. Times are very flexible to work with your schedule!
