The 2nd Grade Reading Buddy program-an initiative of San Antonio Youth Literacy (SAYL)-is an early intervention program focused on promoting the literacy skills of elementary school-aged children who are at-risk of school failure due to poor reading skills.

We train adult volunteers to become SAYL Reading Buddies. Our volunteers tutor students in over 65 elementary schools and program sites throughout San Antonio. Our curriculum focuses on strengthening and improving the literacy skills of students who are reading below their appropriate grade level.

Times and locations at area schools vary. Inquire in person or by phone during office hours or apply online here.
