Extract from "Paired reading schemes: a teacher toolkit"
A well-run paired reading scheme can have massive benefits, for the tutor and the tutee, as well as the school community in general. The network team has put together a suite of resources for their members to support the setting up and running of a buddy reading scheme in school, and is sharing an extract of these resources with all UK schools.
The full suite of resources includes:
Paired reading schemes: a teacher toolkit
Extensive practical guidance on how to set up a scheme in school, including suggested training activities to do with the pupils.
Section 1: Why run a paired reading scheme?
Section 2: Impact and outcomes

Section 4: Ingredients for success
Section Five: Supporting the tutor
Section Six: Guidance and practical advice for tutors - Training to be a tutor and Helping the tutees with their reading
Reading buddy prompt cards
A set of eight downloadable prompt cards that you can print off, cut out and give to your pupils to support them in their role as reading buddy.
