Children inReadingwill get help with their ABC thanks to a local housing association.
Thames Valley Housing (TVH) has donated ?5,000 pounds from its Community Chest fund to Assisting Berkshire Children to read (ABC to Read) ??to train 14 volunteers to work with children who have difficulty reading.
Tessa Dove, Chief Officer at ABC to Read, said, ?Children who struggle with reading often lack the skills and confidence to fulfil their potential.?? One to one help from the education system will always be limited, so teachers put them forward to receive help from us.?
"Our volunteers work with each child individually, for half an hour twice a week, for up to one year, if necessary.? ?We are really grateful to TVH for this funding.? Increasing our volunteers means we will be able to support up to 40 more children inReadingwho are struggling to learn to read.?
ABC to Read works in 50 Berkshire primary schools, 22 of which are inReading, and currently supports around 100 children in the Borough. ?
Tessa Bird, Community Investment Officer at TVH, said, ?This kind of support results in a more positive attitude to reading, ensures the child can go on to further education and improves their self-esteem and confidence.? Our residents have told us that improving access to education is important to them, and I am delighted we?ve been given the opportunity to assist this vital project?
