Sometimes children need extra (额外的)help to learn at school. In some schools in England, some volunteers work with children who have difficulty in reading. The volunteers spend time with them, away from their class, to help them learn to love books and enjoy school. These children can then become more confident about school and learning.
Lorna is a 6-year-old student. This is a report from Mrs. Snow who has been visiting her at school.
When I first started working with Lorna, she was very shy and didn't really enjoy reading. Her class teacher told me she was very quiet in class.
During our lessons we spent lots of time reading books together. We also played word games to help with her spelling and writing. As time went on, Lorna began to relax and became more confident. She realized that reading and writing could be lots of fun.
Lorna even wrote a book by herself about Beauty and the Beast. She also drew some lovely pictures to explain it.
Her class teacher is pleased with how well Lorna is doing. Lorna proudly tells her classmates about what she has done in each lesson with me. I think they all want to join in as well!
I'm pleased that Lorna is also spending more time at home reading with her parents. They all enjoy reading books together!She now even reads to her dog!
