The Welcome Network is a nonprofit in West Bend that welcomes and supports newcomers with language challenges to the West Bend area. One of the keys to their success is learning English. We know that reading books to kids is one of the richest ways we can impart language knowledge. So, you lend your voice, and love for books to kids whose parents can't read in English to them.
We provide this service in partnership with the West Bend School District. Parents in bilingual households attend a training held by the Multi-lingual Family Services team. Down the hall, we provide children in bi-lingual households Fluent English Native Speaker Reading opportunities.
If you can read in English, you are qualified!
This is a Four Week session running from Oct 29-November 19 on Wednesday evenings from 6-8 pm.
More sessions to come on Thursdays later in the school year!
