At my daughter's school parents are encouraged to provide reading support to local state primary kids who are struggling with their reading but no initiative has been set up in daughter's school There are a number of parents in daughter's school - whose children are so resistant to reading at home that they have been paired with teaching assistants (at an hourly rate) to help out at home! Any tips for how to set up a reading buddy scheme drawing on parents within the school community to replace the teaching assistants - as volunteer reading buddies.
What has worked - what to look out for - lessons learnt - gratefully received.
