After sharing her thoughts on the importance of mentor training, we asked Cassandra Rijavec, Volunteer Resource and Mentoring Supervisor, what mentors can expect to learn from the training.

Mentors will learn practical skills and strategies to start their mentoring relationship that apply to a variety of settings. Combined with safety essentials and real-life examples, it will add new skills to a mentor’s toolkit.

đź“š A little flexibility can help keep Reading Buddies going strong.

We know things happen — students get sick, move in or out of schools, or may be away for other reasons. Student triads can help manage attendance changes and keep everyone connected.

For more tips on starting and maintaining Reading Buddies as Mentoring in Schools, check out AMP’s Mentoring in Schools page.

📚 Reading Buddies is about more than reading—it’s about consistency.

Keeping the same student pairs throughout the school year gives buddies time to build trust, connection, and meaningful relationships.

Consistency strengthens the benefits of Reading Buddies, from social skills and academic motivation to empathy and a stronger sense of responsibility. đź’™

đź“š Reading Buddies is a simple way to bring mentoring into schools by pairing older and younger students to read and learn together.

Get started by pairing classes with at least a two-year grade difference, finding another teacher at your school to partner with. This can be done school-wide or between individual classes, creating opportunities for older students to support younger students while building connections and community. 🤝
