Peers & Pages was founded in August 2020 for 11-16 year olds
The main aim of the book club is to develop participants reading and reasoning skills, for young people to take control of their love of books and to be able to view their opinion in a safe environment.
We read non-fiction or fiction.
All our texts are geared towards GCSE English, we teach the young persons to analyse the text and what is the authors thoughts when writing the books.
Why is reading important?
It helps young people to learn to make sense not only of the world around them but also building social emotional skills with people and course imagination.
We have debates and discussions every week and encourage everyone to participate.
Secondary schools are aware that significant numbers of pupils are lacking basic literacy skills.
The ability to read is fundamental life skill.
Lockdown has affected our children’s reading and comprehension , we have qualified teachers running the sessions.
We read books at the pace of young people, this is the key importance.
We meet every Wednesday from 18:30-19:25 on zoom this service is free of charge.
We have had positive feedback from parents and the significant progress in understanding in their reading and their confidence in reasoning and debating.
