Volunteers needed to read one-to-one in local primary school
|
|
After a turbulent two years of the pandemic with the resultant disruption to education, younger children and those from more disadvantaged circumstances need help with their reading even more than before the pandemic. Schoolreaders charity and its Norfolk county ambassador, Penny Hubbard is putting out an urgent call for new volunteers in West Norfolk to join the scheme to read in the schools which have signed up for the free scheme.
“It’s such a simple model but so effective,” she says. “Schoolreaders matches volunteers to schools to listen to children read on a one-to-one basis, focusing on those schools who need the most support for their cohort of pupils. Volunteers need to be able to go into school for 1-2 hours a week during term time and typically listen to around 10 children read per session. They can choose how far they can travel and most go into their local school. I have been reading in Hunstanton Primary School for two terms and it is really rewarding”.
