How do we improve learner's reading abilities in our schools?The following are strategies on how to do soo. 1. Creating exciting and innovative reading corners in each classroom to encourage enjoyment of reading. 2. Inviting highly skilled volunteers (parents, grandparents, governors, retired teachers, community champions) to hear readers individually. 3. Registering each child at the local library and having them attend the library twice a half term to choose books. 4. Monitoring reading across the school and holding pupil progress meetings each half term for intervention and challenge. 5. Providing Book Reading Partners (BRP) for a pupil in each class and training all teaching assistants (TAs) to lead BRP. 6. Developing comprehension skills through key questions in pupils' individual home reading records and encouraging parental involvement. By Deborah Bunyali 📖❤
