Year 3 & Year 7 Paired Reading Programme
Our Year 3 pupils have been paired with a Year 7 pupil for the duration of our Paired Reading Programme. The children engaged in three half-hour paired reading sessions per week. Year 3 children, with the support of their Year 7 partner, selected their Paired Reading books from a stock of books especially chosen for the programme.
Paired Reading which has two distinct parts - Reading Together and Reading Alone - has been shown to have excellent results for helping children to read, enjoy reading and to develop a positive attitude to reading.
Those children involved with the programme did indeed have an enjoyable and rewarding literacy experience. We were delighted with the mutual benefits this paired reading programme has had for both our Year 3 and Year 7 pupils and were delighted to present all those involved with their certificates today.
Congratulation girls and boys - well done!
