Pictured are a group of our Senior boys participating in the " Buddy Reading" scheme.Every Friday, this group gathers to read various books of interest to their younger buddies.They then engage in oral questionning and discussion to ensure the younger boys have understood the storyline and content. The boys use various strategies , such as Echo reading,to help with reading new words and promote reading fluency.
Buddy Reading is a fun sociable way to develop an interest in reading and an enjoyment of books.Communication skills, peer relations and self esteem levels are also developed.As a result all the children involved benefit in many positive ways.
