Beanstalk recruits, vets, trains and supports reading helpers, who volunteer their time to support children with their reading, providing each child with two 30 minute one-to-one literacy sessions per week, for an entire academic year. With "Get Cheshire Reading!", Beanstalk aims to help children who are falling behind with reading in Cheshire to improve their reading skills and increase their confidence and enjoyment of reading. A grant of £9,994 will enable Beanstalk to support to 17 local volunteers who will help 53 children who are struggling with reading in primary schools across Cheshire. Beanstalk has been delivering its service for over 40 years and our results are very positive. This simple model really makes the difference. Evidence shows that children supported by Beanstalk improve their reading attainment, but also develop their confidence (both in reading and general) and are inspired to read for pleasure. This will also have long-term impact, as by intervening at this stage the project is investing in the children's future and empowering them with skills to have a successful educational and professional path.
