At UISG, we believe in the power of reading to inspire young minds, and our Reading Buddies Programme is a fantastic way to achieve just that!
What is Reading Buddies?
Reading Buddies pairs older and younger students, creating unique opportunities for shared reading experiences. Here’s how it works: ??Older students become “reading mentors” to guide and encourage younger buddies. ??Younger students benefit from the expertise and mentorship of their older buddies.
? Everyone enjoys the magic of storytelling and learning together.
Why Reading Buddies?
?Enhancing Literacy: Reading Buddies strengthens reading skills and comprehension through engaging interactions. ?Building Friendships: Our students form cross-year level friendships, promoting a sense of unity within our school community. ?Boosting Confidence: Younger students gain self-assurance, while older students develop leadership skills by being positive role models.
?Fostering a Love for Reading: Reading Buddies makes reading enjoyable, setting the stage for a lifelong love of books. Let’s Read Together! The Reading Buddies Programme is more than just reading; it is about building a community of readers and learners. Join us on this exciting reading journey and watch your child flourish in the world of books! Together, we inspire a love for reading! ?❤️
