Brooke Weston Sixth Formers who were specially trained to mentor younger students with their reading have been presented with accreditation certificates in recognition of their work. The students underwent a Reading Matters training course and completed a series of assessment tasks before completing a minimum of five hours’ worth of one-to-one reading support with a reading partner.
The scheme has been running successfully at Brooke Weston for several years and is administered by Reading Matters and co-ordinated by Mrs Childs. She presented the students with their Level 2 accreditation in ‘Supporting Reading Skills’.
