ENGLISH READING BUDDY

PROGRAMME 2017-2018

Ms. Lise Ng

It is the fifth consecutive year that we have the English Reading Buddy
Programme which is under Language Across The Curriculum (LAC). The support
from the school, and all reading mentees and mentors contributes to the success
of the programme.
15 reading mentors from S.3A and S.3B met 15 reading mentees from
th
S.1 on a one-on-one basis. 13 meetings on Wednesday afternoons from 29
th
November 2017 to 16 May 2018 were held. The reading mentors helped their
mentees with a different set of reading material in each meeting which lasted 40 minutes. They sometimes read a
recipe, a passage about natural science and sometimes a problem to solve, a puzzle to tease their mind to name
but a few.
All reading mentors were given a training before each meeting with their mentees. They then would work with
their mentees by reading the materials aloud, explaining new vocabulary, answering comprehension questions,
discussing the topic and so forth.

A survey was conducted in the last reading session. 100% of the mentees said that they enjoyed reading with
their mentors while all 15 mentors said that they enjoyed helping their mentees to read. 86% of the mentees said
they liked their mentors and 93% of the mentors liked their mentees. 93% of the mentees agreed that they made
improvement in English reading.
