THIS This page was compiled with the help education PAGE of Hackney Learning Trust & local schools News in brief Reading scheme benefits both pupils and mentors A READING project between a housing association and Kingsmead Primary School is benefiting both pupils and mentors, according to volunteers. Six staff from Sanctuary Housing are giving their time to help children develop their reading skills, improve their self esteem and provide an opportunity to learn more about the world of work. They regularly listen to the children read, discuss the stories and study new vocabulary. Year 4 pupil Ayse said: “My reading teacher helps me to sound out tricky words and makes it fun.” Jo Revett, senior projects officer at Sanctuary Housing, added: “I know I speak on behalf of each of the volunteers when I say what a huge amount we get personally from working with the children. To see their self-belief grow is immensely rewarding.” The scheme was set up by Inspire! – the Education Business Learning Partnership for Hackney.
