Reading Partner's Project

Since March, six 1st  class children have partnered up with six 6th  class children to read and enjoy as many books as possible. They meet in my room Mondays to Thursdays from 9.00a.m to 9.20a.m. The children from 6th class were trained initially on how to support the younger children at reading. They have read through an average of 60 books and seem to really enjoy it. Earlier this year a similiar partnership was set up between 2nd class and 6th class. This was also a great success. As a reward for the children's commitment and enthusiasm I plan to bring all children involved in the Reading Partner's Project this year to Rush Library for a visit . We plan to go Tuesday June 28th. Letters will be going out to the parents of all the children involved
