Which activity would involve volunteers in reading and mentoring?

• A. Buddy reading
• B. Career week with community helpers
• C. Dr. Seuss week with the principal reading
• D. Special guest readers

Answer: (A)

Mentoring through literacy happens best when there’s an ongoing reading partnership. Buddy reading pairs a student with a volunteer who reads with them regularly, offering model fluent reading, encouragement, and feedback. That steady interaction builds reading skills and confidence at the same time, which is the heart of volunteering in a mentoring role.

The other options center on one-time events or thematic activities, not ongoing mentoring relationships: a special guest reading is a single encounter with a reader; a Dr. Seuss week with the principal reading is a themed event; career week focuses on discussing work with community helpers rather than sustained reading guidance.
