Reading Mentors
Some of our Year 5 and Year 6 children are ‘Reading Mentors’ to our Year 2 children. They do a fantastic job and all children really enjoy it; helping them to make progress with their reading comprehension skills. The older children have been trained on how to ask questions about what has been read and how to complete reading diaries.
