Peer Reading
The Peer Reading Program is a program designed to improve literacy skills in children and help foster a love of reading. The program consists of trained Peer Leaders who act as mentors and motivators to Peer Readers. During each session the Peer Reader will be guided to select an appropriate book to read and have a one-on-one, read-aloud session to practice reading techniques previously learnt. There will be opportunities to discuss the book with the Peer Leader, to assist with comprehension.
Peer Leaders will undergo a training session at the beginning of a 10 week program and another mid-way through. Each Peer Leader will be required to attend two 30 minute sessions every Tuesday afternoon, for the duration of the 10 week program. To be involved in the program you must complete an enrolment form.
