Welcome!

We are Bentley’s Buddies & Friends, a free service helping children improve their reading skills with the assistance of a certified Reading Buddy. A certified Reading Buddy provides a calm environment for a child to read and will not tell them they are wrong if they make a mistake.

If your little Reader needs some extra help, give us a call to see how we can help!
