Helping children at SPSL progress in reading
The disruption caused by the Covid epidemic has meant many children falling behind in reading. We are using an app called Bookmark to pair children with adult volunteers in the community to help them catch up.
The six-week reading programme involves two 30-minute sessions each week with a child who needs extra support with their reading. This can be either face-to-face in a local primary school, or virtually through our secure online platform.
The digital platform matches schools with fully safeguarded, vetted and trained reading volunteers in the local community, at the tap of a button.
