Year 12 students train to become reading leaders
Published 24/11/16
The Reading Leader Scheme is organised by Reading Matters, in conjunction with Corby Reads. It is a registered charity which trains and supports volunteers to work with young people, helping them to become confident and enthusiastic readers.
Year 12 students are trained for six hours; upon completion they then give up half an hour of their time once a week to help a Year 7 student engage in reading activities. The mentor prepares materials from a wide range of resources, to match the ability needs and interest of the reader.
