Recipient Org: Description ARCh recruits, trains and supports volunteers who work one-to-one with disadvantaged primary school children who are struggling with their reading. The aim is to provide sustained mentoring over the course of a year, boosting children's confidence and to impart a love of reading which we hope will enhance their lives. There are currently around 250 active ARCh volunteers supporting more than 700 Oxfordshire children. Each child benefits from 2 ARCh sessions a week, sharing books, games and chat with their helper. ARCh provides every volunteer with a box of books and games which are carefully chosen in order to inspire the children to really want to read. At the end of a year's ARCh support schools tell us that not only has children's reading ability increased but attitude to reading and learning in general, confidence and self esteem and communication skills all improve too, meaning that children have the essential skills and aspirations to move to secondary education and a successful and happy life beyond.
