READING TOGETHER
 |
|
 |
"Reading
Together" is a reading project involving a group of second class and
sixth class students. Each sixth class student partners a second class student
and they read together each day for fifteen minutes over a period of three
weeks.
Apart from
the obvious benefits to second class, we believe that sixth class will also
benefit from this experience. They will be learning valuable life skills like
leadership, commitment and responsibility as well as gaining enhanced reading
ability.
Each sixth
class student participated in a short training session before the project
commenced. The children received the booklet below as an aid and all
participants will receive a certificate when the project ends.
