Our Paired Reading Programme began on Tuesday afternoon and involves Pr.7 pupils taking on a leadership role through working with and supporting the progress of our Pr.1 pupils and their literacy skills.   Primary 7 pupils trained by Miss Ross and Mrs Chisholm had been waiting patiently to put their new skills into practice prior to the first session.  Both Miss Ross and Mrs Chisholm reported that they  were an absolute delight when they came down to visit the infant department. They were all extremely motivated and enthusiastic and spent time getting to know their reading buddies before getting down to the real business of reading and sharing good practice.  Pr.7 pupils took their role as mentor very seriously and Pr.1 pupils can’t wait until they return next week.   Well Done Pr7 !!!  Now we aim to extend the programme to our Pr.6 pupils who will aid our Pr.2 pupils.
