PAL Reading Funfair @ SK Jengka Batu 13

SK Jengka Batu 13 hosted a PAL Reading Day today, 14th November 2014. PAL, or Peer Assisted Learning, is an effective method to promote literacy and fluency. Level 2 pupils are paired with Level 1 pupils for all activities. The level 2 pupils coach or assist the level 1 pupils, creating a safe environment to experiment with language and have fun. Pairs were issued a "passport" to collect stamps from each activity. If they completed all the stamps in their passport, they could redeem it for a delicious snack at the end of the day. It is important to remember that school should be fun, and to encourage collaboration and inclusivity for all students.
