To ensure that all students feel confident when reading, we have our reading mentor role. Chosen by the English teacher, we have trained our Year 11/10 to Year 9 students to be competent and effective reading mentors and to be ready to listen to younger students read once/twice or three times a week. This is a great way of helping our students to gain a valuable experience of a leadership role and it will certainly encourage them to use their knowledge to benefit others.  The reading mentor is a positive role model by providing consistent support to the learners.
