Schools
Working with us
We have many years of experience working with Dorset schools to help them raise attainment and foster a culture of reading for pleasure among pupils. With that in mind, Dorset Reading Partners can help your school in two ways:
Firstly, our trained reading partners can provide tailored one-to-one support to primary school children of all ages.
In addition, our experienced staff will deliver in-school training to enable parents, carers and helpers to provide the best possible reading support, both at home and in the school.
