Reading Buddies - book covers

A couple of afternoon registrations a week our library plays host to the 'Reading Buddies' - a scheme in which Y9/10 students are paired up with Y7/8 students who find reading a bit challenging.

We always have biscuits (of course!) and have a go at different activities every week - they've been looking at what makes a good book cover this week. Over previous sessions they've taken an online Christmas quiz, read out (and drawn) descriptions of pictures, interviewed each other and answered a questionnaire about their reading habits, among other things.

The aim of the 'Reading Buddies' is to develop the students' confidence and to hopefully improve their reading skills in a fun way.
