Reading Leaders (360G-Walcot-0061E00001F7ZFxQAN)

An accredited peer tutoring programme, supporting struggling readers, building student leaders, and creating networks between children and young people in Years 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The project will work with an external literacy charity and primary schools in the Oval Learning Cluster to target interventions where they are most needed and train older children to act as reading buddies for younger children. The project will also provide additional mentoring (20 hours per week) for the Reading Leaders to continue to develop their own reading, complete homework and improve school engagement
