After completing the Readers Organisation ‘Read to Lead Training’, myself and two colleagues are going to be delivering two sessions in the Easter Break. We are delivering the sessions to a group of young people from Greenbank Sports Academy.
The Greenbank Sports Academy is operated by Greenbank and is the North West’s leading sports and leisure facility for disabled people located in the Sefton Park area of Liverpool. They provide school holiday activities for disabled children aged 8 and above, their friends and siblings. Over Easter we have two, one hour sessions where we will use ‘The Savage’ as our reading material.
The difference between the Read to Lead sessions and normal reading groups is that the reading is shared. We, as the facilitators, will read the book aloud (members can choose to join in, but there’s no pressure to). This provides immediate engagement with the text, which is enriched by the spontaneous sharing of life stories and experiences as confidence builds.
Follow links for more information. Details of how our sessions go will be posted here soon.
