We create a fun environment for pupils to participate in Book Clubs in their schools. BCiS is a peer-to-peer mentoring programme where Years 10 and 12 run Book Clubs for year 7s.
Through the Book Clubs, pupils learn to
- read at a higher level
- foster analytical thinking
- use evidence to support opinions
- articulate and share ideas
- develop emotional intelligence, empathy and creativity
- interact and relate to peers from different age groups and diverse backgrounds
- organise and manage their time
- effectively lead and facilitate group discussion (Book Club leaders)
