No one would deny that reading is beneficial, but not everyone is interested in it. Some may feel reluctant to bury themselves in a sea of words, while the others may find reading alone boring. In view of this, the Reading Buddy Programme has been launched.
In this programme, S.1 mentees are guided by S.3 mentors to read different texts and do reading exercises every Monday after school. Ranging from sports to cooking, the reading materials cover a wide variety of interesting themes. Students' willingness in reading is elicited. In addition, with the assistance of the friendly mentors, S.1 mentees are motivated to actively engage in reading.
