Now Recruiting Volunteers for the 2025-26 School Year!
Do you enjoy working with children? Would you like to help boost the reading and learning skills of local students? If so, you may want to become a Word Buster! The Word Busters program is made up of volunteers who spend, on average, one hour per week working with students in local primary classrooms.
At the kindergarten level, volunteers help students learn letter names, sounds, and the first sight words. In the first and second grades, volunteers help students master a list of 300+ high frequency sight words and reinforce other reading skills being taught at these grade levels.
Volunteers need no prior knowledge or training. The Word Busters program provides volunteer training and support.
The mission of Word Busters is to ensure primary students master high frequency words (sight words). Using well-trained community volunteers, we work one-on-one with students in their own classroom. We employ consistent practices, self-paced goals and positive reinforcement to achieve success.
It is our vision that Word Busters will facilitate greater success in reading mastery for children, thereby enabling measurable academic success.
We’re excited to share that our organization has earned a 2022 Platinum Seal of Transparency with Candid! Click to learn more…
