School Based Support
Buddy Reading
Developed from ROWA!'s award winning Buddy Reading scheme, this flexible and friendly strategy has helped thousands of Derbyshire children become more confident and enthusiastic readers. The 'buddies' learn about reading development and they are trained to use techniques which can really make a difference to their partner - fluency, comprehension, a range of decoding strategies, and most importantly enjoyment and confidence in reading. As one headteacher said, "Buddy Reading is brilliant - everyone wins!"
School Buddy Reading is designed for children who lack:
- confidence in reading
- the full range of decoding strategies
- fluency
- comprehension skills
ROWA! can arrange Buddy Reading training sessions for your older students in all age ranges, eg Y2 working with Foundation, Yr6 working with Yr2, or Yr12 students working with primary children. Buddy Reading can also be used to train adults in your school, eg lunchtime supervisors and classroom volunteers.
Buddy Reading is also fantastic for Parent Workshops to help parents support their children reading at home.
The training is delivered over a 2 hour session for up to 30 buddies. The cost is £480 plus expenses.
