WE NEED YOU FOR 1:1 READING - CAN YOU HELP ?

Coram Beanstalk provide one-to-one, in-person reading support for primary schools to help your school encourage reading for pleasure among your pupils and improve reading attainment.

Coram Beanstalk wants all children to choose to read. There is a wealth of research showing that when we read because we want to – not because we are being told to or feel we have to – it makes a significant difference to how successful we are in education, how good we feel and how well we do in life. We support a child at every stage as they continue along a path to becoming someone who not only can read independently but chooses to do so!

volunteers provide consistent support to children who have fallen behind and need more intensive or longer-term help to change their attitude to reading and build their reading skills, ability and confidence. 

One-to-one reading support – from all quarters - changes children’s lives: most dramatically the lives of those children who would otherwise be excluded from the benefits and pleasure that reading can bring.

We know that the more children are supported in a way that means they enjoy reading, the more inclined they are to keep trying when they find it hard (and keep doing it when they have other options!), the more they progress and the more their self-confidence and self-esteem grows.

We would love to take part in this wonderful programme to provide 1:1 reading support and develop love for reading.

We need volunteers from our school community to commit to being a reading expert with Coram Beanstalk and support our children. Can you help?

Initial training is delivered online and will set you up to begin one-to-one sessions with confidence. Once established as a reading helper, you can continue your learning journey by using the self-directed resources available on our online portal and booking onto our online trainer-delivered group sessions.

We look forward to hearing from you.
