\ nChildren entering grades 1 through 4 can practice the ir reading and/or math skills with a helpful teen volunteer for 30 minutes once per week for the month of July or August. You may register your chil d for 30 minutes of reading\, 30 minutes of math\, OR 15 minutes of both. Reading &\; Math Buddies is for PRACTICE only.
