“It’s been a pleasure to support the school with Reciprocal Reading in the last 2 years. Seeing the students develop confidence in their reading and comprehension is really fulfilling. The school and staff are incredibly welcoming and well prepared to receive volunteers; the students are fantastic to work with. I felt supported and appreciated throughout. The whole experience was also great fun.”
